The Dieng Volcanic Complex ({{langx|jv|ꦢꦶꦲꦾꦁ|Dihyang}}) is a volcanic complex located on the Dieng Plateau in Central Java, Indonesia, a complex of volcanoes. The volcanic complex consists of two or more stratovolcanoes, more than 20 small craters, and Pleistocene to Holocene-age volcanic cones. It covers a {{convert|6|by|14|km}} area. The Prahu stratovolcano was truncated by a large Pleistocene caldera and then filled by parasitic cones, lava domes, and craters which is {{convert|120|C|0}}. Some of them are turned into lakes. Toxic volcanic gas has caused fatalities and is a hazard at several craters. On 20 February 1979, 149 people died of gas poisoning in Pekisaran Village on the plateau near the Sinila Crater.[http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2001/02/06/fumarole-death-blamed-poor-signs.html Fumerole death blamed on poor signs'] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304232410/http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2001/02/06/fumarole-death-blamed-poor-signs.html |date=2016-03-04 }}, The Jakarta Post The area is also home to a major geothermal project.
