Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution (DMED), formerly Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer & International (DTCI), was one of The Walt Disney Company's five major business segments consisting of Disney's streaming services and overseas media businesses, formed in March 2018. As part of the segment's formation, Disney Streaming Services (formerly BAMTech) was placed under Direct-to-Consumer & International.

On October 12, 2020, DTCI was dissolved and its business segments were split into Disney International Content and Operations and Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution after Disney initiated a reorganization of its various media and entertainment divisions. The business currently consists of Disney's streaming services, its advertising sales division, and its linear television networks, along with broadcast, cable and international syndication. It is focused on the strategic monetization of titles from Disney's three content groups: Studios, General Entertainment, and ESPN & Sports.

In February 2023, returning CEO Bob Iger began to re-organize all Disney divisions as part of the company's larger reorganization. This will include the move of DMED's responsibilities into a new Disney Entertainment division overseeing all filmed and screen content and its networks and streaming venues, excluding ESPN and sports operations.
