Dichomeris sciodora is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in India (Assam).

The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous-yellowish, with the costa minutely strigulated blackish from the base to three small blackish marks at two-thirds. There is some grey sprinkling along the dorsum and a roundish spot of greyish suffusion in the disc at one-fifth. The stigmata is dark fuscous, the plical beneath the first discal. There is also a transverse median patch of light greyish suffusion crossing the wing but not reaching the costa, as well as some greyish strigulation crossing the wing at three-fourth. There is an irregular terminal streak of blackish-grey mottling, thickest below the apex. The hindwings are grey.
