Didier Dinart (born January 18, 1977 in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe) is a French handball player, currently playing for the internationally renowned BM Ciudad Real handball team in Spain (where he is partner to, among others, Luc Abalo). Before joining BM Ciudad Real, he played for the current best French club Montpellier HB.
He is a highly skilled defensive player, and is widely regarded as one of the world's best handball defensive players. This effectiveness has granted him the nickname of La Roca (The Rock) in Spain.

He won all three major titles in handball (European championship, world championship, Olympic championship).
