Dichocrocis is a genus of moths in the family Crambidae described by Julius Lederer in 1863.

Dichocrocis in its current composition is considered polyphyletic, with many of its species misplaced. However, the type species, D. frenatalis, was found to be placed in the tribe Steniini in a 2025 phylogenetic study.
