Dichomeris sciodora is a small moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922 and is found in Assam, India. The wingspan is about 13 mm.

Forewings are pale ochreous yellowish with fine blackish lines along the leading edge from the base to about two-thirds, ending in three small blackish marks at the two-thirds point. There is grey sprinkling along the dorsum and a round grey spot in the disc at one-fifth. The dark stigmata are fuscous, with the plical stigma beneath the first discal. A transverse median patch of light greyish colour crosses the wing but does not reach the costa. There is greyish strigulation crossing the wing at about three-fourths. An irregular terminal streak of blackish-grey mottling runs along the edge, thickest below the apex.

Hindwings are grey.
