D-sharp minor^[1] is a minor scale based on D♯, consisting of the pitches D♯, E♯, F♯, G♯, A♯, B, and C♯. Its key signature has six sharps.

Its relative major is F-sharp major (or enharmonically G-flat major). Its parallel major, D-sharp major,^[2] is usually replaced by E-flat major, since D-sharp major's two double-sharps make it impractical to use. Its enharmonic equivalent, E-flat minor, has the same number of flats.

The D-sharp natural minor scale is:

${ \omit Score.TimeSignature \relative c' { \key dis \minor \time 7/4 dis^"Natural minor scale" eis fis gis ais b cis dis cis b ais gis fis eis dis2 \clef F \key dis \minor } }$

Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The D-sharp harmonic minor and melodic minor scales are:

${ \omit Score.TimeSignature \relative c' { \key dis \minor \time 7/4 dis^"Harmonic minor scale" eis fis gis ais b cisis dis cisis b ais gis fis eis dis2 } }$

${ \omit Score.TimeSignature \relative c' { \key dis \minor \time 7/4 dis^"Melodic minor scale (ascending and descending)" eis fis gis ais bis cisis dis cis? b? ais gis fis eis dis2 } }$
