The name Dalila has been used for three tropical cyclones in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. However, before 1995, it was known as Dalilia, the Spanish form of "Delilah"; it was changed, perhaps inadvertently, in operational documents prior to the 1995 season, and the misspelling has remained.
- Tropical Storm Dalilia (1983), never affected land
- Hurricane Dalilia (1989), only tropical cyclone during 1989 to affect the Hawaiian Islands
- Tropical Storm Dalila (1995), did not make landfall
- Hurricane Dalila (2001), passed directly over Socorro Island as a tropical storm
- Tropical Storm Dalila (2007), passed over Socorro Island with winds of 60 miles per hour, but no reported deaths or damages
