The '''diesis''' (/ˈdaɪəsɪs/ ''DY-ə-sis''; plural ''dieses'') most commonly refers to:

* ~~The difference between two enharmonic notes in a scale. See ''[[Diesis (scale theory)]]'';~~

* [[128/125]], the ''augmented comma'' or ''lesser diesis'';

* by extension, [[128/125]] ~~(≈ 41¢)~~, the ''augmented comma'' or ''lesser diesis'';

** rarely, [[648/625]], the ''diminished comma'' or ''greater diesis'';

* by extension, a melodic unit of about the size of 128/125. See ''[[Diesis (~~melodic unit~~)]]~~''.~~

* By extension, a melodic unit of about the size of 128/125 (≈ 41¢). See [[Diesis (interval region)]];

* By extension, the difference between two enharmonic notes in a scale. See [[Diesis (scale theory)]].

~~Intervals with the word in the name:~~

* ~~[[Magic comma]], or ''small diesis''~~

* [[Porcupine comma]], or ''maximal diesis''

* [[Tetracot comma]], or ''minimal diesis''

* [[49/48]], the ~~''large septimal diesis''~~

* [[~~50/49~~]]~~, the ''septimal tritonic diesis''~~

In addition, there are a number of archaic usages in [[Ancient Greek music]]:
