Delias paoaiensis is a species of pierine butterfly endemic to Cordillera Central Mountains of Luzon, in the Philippines.

The wingspan is 52-56 mm. The species was originally described as a subspecies of Delias nuydaorum, but can be distinguished by the paler yellow marking in the subapical area of the underside of the forewings and hindwings.
