The subfamily Dialioideae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae (legumes). This subfamily includes many tropical trees and shrubs. The subfamily consists of 17 genera, which are widespread throughout the tropics. It has the following clade-based definition:

The most inclusive crown clade containing Poeppigia procera C.Presland Dialium guianense (Aubl.) Sandwith, but not Cercis canadensis L., Duparquetia orchidacea Baill., or Bobgunnia fistuloides (Harms) J. H. Kirkbr. & Wiersema

Members of the family also share the following morphological characteristics: the presence of cymose inflorescences, the absence of vestured pits in the xylem, and a high degree of organ loss.{{cite book | vauthors = Herendeen PS, Bruneau A, Lewis GP | chapter = Phylogenetic relationships in Caesalpinioid legumes: A preliminary analysis based on morphological and molecular data | year = 2003 | veditors = Klitgaard BB, Bruneau A | title = Advances in Legume Systematics, Part 10: Higher Level Systematics | pages = 37–62 | publisher = Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew | isbn = 9781842460542}}{{cite journal | vauthors = Zimmerman E, Prenner G, Bruneau A | year = 2013 | title = Floral ontogeny in Dialiinae (Caesalpinioideae: Cassieae), a study in organ loss and instability | journal = South African Journal of Botany | volume = 89 | pages = 188–209 | doi = 10.1016/j.sajb.2013.06.020| doi-access = free }}
