The Diet of Dalmatia (Croatian, Dalmatinski sabor, Serbian: Далматински сабор, Dalmatinski sabor; Italian: Dieta della Dalmazia) was the regional assembly of the Kingdom of Dalmatia within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was founded in 1861 in Zadar and was eventually dissolved in the early 1900s.
The pro-Italian Autonomists held the parliamentary majority since the founding of the Dalmatian diet until 1870, when the (Croatian) People's Party won the parliamentary elections. Croatian became the official language of the diet in 1883.
