Dikoryfo (, before 1927: Ζωνδήλα, Zondila, between 1927–1940: Δίκορφο, Dikorfo) is a small village in the region of Epirus in Greece. The village is located to the north western side of Mount Mitsikeli.
== Name == Tzontila, the local form of the placename is derived from the Albanian word çotill/ë -a meaning 'the stamp, the wood with which butter is beaten'. It stems from the Albanian toçill/ë, -a 'potter's wheel' and through transposition is from a Slavic word rendered in Bulgarian as točilo and in Serbian točilj meaning 'anvil'.
