Fractal plays an important role in nonlinear science. The most important parameter to model fractal is fractal dimension. Existing information dimension can calculate the dimension of probability distribution. However, given a mass function which is the generalization of probability distribution, how to determine its fractal dimension is still an open problem of immense interest. The main contribution of this work is to propose an information fractal dimension of mass function. Numerical
