Dilan Ensemble is a Kurdish Music Ensemble from Iranian Kurdistan or Eastern Kurdistan (Kurdish: Rojhilatê Kurdistanê, ڕۆژھەڵاتی کوردستان), which was established by the Kamanche player and composer Shahriyar Jamshidi in memoriam of Kurdish musician brothers Qadir Dilan and Muhamad Salih Dilan from Southern Kurdistan (Kurdish: باشووری کوردستان, romanized: Başûrê Kurdistanê) in 2003.
