In linear algebra, a diagonal matrix is a matrix in which the entries outside the main diagonal are all zero; the term usually refers to square matrices. An example of a 2-by-2 diagonal matrix is {\displaystyle \left[{\begin{smallmatrix}3&0\\0&2\end{smallmatrix}}\right]} {\displaystyle \left[{\begin{smallmatrix}3&0\\0&2\end{smallmatrix}}\right]}, while an example of a 3-by-3 diagonal matrix is {\displaystyle \left[{\begin{smallmatrix}6&0&0\\0&7&0\\0&0&4\end{smallmatrix}}\right]} {\displaystyle \left[{\begin{smallmatrix}6&0&0\\0&7&0\\0&0&4\end{smallmatrix}}\right]}. An identity matrix of any size, or any multiple of it (a scalar matrix), is a diagonal matrix.

A diagonal matrix is sometimes called a scaling matrix, since matrix multiplication with it results in changing scale (size). Its determinant is the product of its diagonal values.
