Dimitri from Paris (born Dimitris Yerasimos in October 1963) is a French producer and DJ of Greek origins. Contrary to his musical pseudonym, he was born not in Paris but in Istanbul, Turkey. He started out by DJ'ing at the French station Radio 7, before moving on to Skyrock and finally NRJ, one of the top radio groups in France, in 1986.

He also released two solo EP from 1993 to 1994, and contributed to the Yellow Productions compilation La Yellow 357. In 1996 Dimitri released his first full album, Sacrebleu. Subtly blending a variety of styles ranging from jazz to samba to house, Sacrebleu sold 300,000 copies worldwide and was named Album of the Year by Mixmag magazine. He followed this up with A Night
