Dryadorchis is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It is endemic to New Guinea.
==Description== The stems are very short, and they bear subfalcate leaves. The racemose inflorescences have a swollen rhachis. They produce short-lived flowers with a long, slim column, which houses four pollinia. The unspurred labellum has a concavity in its centre.
