Dahl's jird, Meriones dahli, is a rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in Armenia and the neighboring Agri province of Turkey, which gives it a very small known range. Its fur is dark and brightly colored on the back, with a lighter abdomen and a black tail. Because of its outward appearance, many people once took it for a subspecies of the midday jird, Meriones meridianus, but it has since been ranked as a full species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature category recorded for it in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility is Critically Endangered.
