Of course they are different things:)
Pronunciation is how you pronounce words, how they sound like, e.g. "read" you can pronounce as [rid] when it's the present tense, or as [red] when it's the past tense.
Diction, however, is how clearly someone can speak or sing. If you don't understand words in a song (in a language you perfectly know) you can say a singer has a bad diction. Diction can refers to words and to whole sentences as well.

Hope it helped.
