In music from Western culture, a diminished octave is an interval produced by narrowing a perfect octave by a chromatic semitone. As such, the two notes are denoted by the same letter but have different accidentals. For instance, the interval from C4 to C5 is a perfect octave, twelve semitones wide, and both the intervals from C♯4 to C5 and from C4 to C♭5 are diminished octaves, spanning eleven semitones. Being diminished, it is considered a dissonant interval. The diminished octave is enharmonically equivalent to the major seventh.

- En musique, une octave diminuée est une octave diminuée d'un demi-ton chromatique, soit un intervalle de cinq tons et demi (onze demi-tons). Dans un tempérament égal à douze demi-tons (gamme tempérée), l'octave diminuée est l'équivalent enharmonique de la septième majeure. L'octave diminuée est produite en enchaînant sept quartes. (fr)
