Dicrostonychini is a tribe of lemmings in the subfamily Arvicolinae. It contains only one extant genus, as well as one extinct genus.
A 2021 study found Dicrostonychini to also include the genera previously placed in the tribe Phenacomyini, and found this combined Dicrostonychini to be the sister group to the muskrats (tribe Ondatrini).[2]
