Dioryctria taiella is a species of snout moth in the genus Dioryctria. It was described by Hans Georg Amsel in 1970 and is known from Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The larvae feed on Arceuthobium oxycedri.^[2] Early instars bore into the aerial shoots, while mature larvae feed externally, mainly at the bases of the shoots and cause shoot mortality.^[3]
