Uefa took the decision to deny the Russian side a place in next season's tournament after previously banning Bursaspor.
Dinamo Moscow have been banned from playing in next season's Europa League after breaching Uefa's Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
The Russian club were referred to the adjudicatory chamber of Uefa's Club Financial Control Body in April for breaking its break-even requirement.
Dinamo, who finished fourth in Russia's top flight, were set to compete in the Europa League this season, but Uefa excluded them from competing in the competition on Friday.
"I can't say that the Uefa decision came as a big surprise for us," Dinamo president Boris Rotenberg told the club's official website.
"We're sure that, under the terms of a necessary cut to the wage bill, Dinamo will still be able to fight for top places. I don't doubt that next summer we'll be back competing in Europe."
No further fines or transfer restrictions have been implemented following Uefa's decision, the club have said.
Earlier this week, Bursaspor were also banned from the Europa League for breaking FFP rules after failing with an appeal.
Dinamo, who reached the last 16 of last season's tournament before being knocked out by Napoli, are likely to lose their place to Rubin Kazan, who finished fifth in the Russian Premier League.
The club spent sizeable funds on securing a number of new players last year, including Mathieu Valbuena from Marseille and Alexander Buttner from Manchester United.
