"Zari" (Greek: Ζάρι, pronounced [ˈzari]; transl. "Dice") is a song by Greek singer Marina Satti. It was co-written by Satti alongside eight other songwriters, and released on 7 March 2024 by Golden Records as the second single off her extended play P.O.P. It represented Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, where it placed 11th at the grand final with 126 points.
The song has been described by Satti as a song that aims to tell the "real characteristics" of young Greek people and their culture. The song was met with a heavily divided response in Greece and the international community, with praise being awarded towards the song for mixing multiple styles of music. However, it was also met with heavy criticism, with the song being viewed as confusing. Criticism was also levied on the song's stance regarding the reliance of tourism relating to the Greek economy. "Zari" drew commercial success, topping the charts in its native Greece. Internationally, it peaked within the top ten in the Netherlands and the top 20 in Lithuania. It was additionally certified diamond by IFPI Greece.
