Dineo Ranaka (born 16 January 1983) is a South African radio personality, television presenter, actress, DJ, and TV producer.

Ranaka started her career at 5FM in 2003 presenting the Fanta World Chart Show with Brown Sugar. She then moved to YFM, Highveld Stereo (later 947), Metro FM, and Cliff Central. She was the co-host and producer of the YFM drive time show Essential Rush. Ranaka then took a long break after which she joined Metro FM to host The Bridge, a mid-morning show and Metro FM Top 40 shortly after that. Currently, she is the main anchor for Kaya 959's breakfast show.

Ranaka garnered local attention after her show "Dineo Live on Drive" on YFM which was a great success, with her talent combined with her "can-do" attitude that landed her in the driver's seat as YFM's first female afternoon drive time jock on "Dineo Live on Drive" which she hosted every Monday to Friday from 3pm - 6pm. She made an on-screen hit on ETV's Club 808. Dineo also made appearances and starred in television series and shows which includes; Real Goboza, Scandal, Gaz'lam, Yim'lo, Dineo's Diary, Gomora, All Access Mzansi, and MoJa Love's Ishushu. Ranaka also starred as one of the main characters in a featured film Baby Mamas.
