Ardozyga ochrobathra is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Turner in 1933. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are brown mostly suffused with dark fuscous and with a pale brownish basal area bounded by a straight line from one-fourth of the costa to near the base of the dorsum, containing two fuscous costal dots. The first discal and plical are lost in dark fuscous suffusion, the second discal slightly beyond the middle, oval, transverse, whitish with a fuscous center. The apical half of the costa has alternate dark and pale bars and the tornal area is less suffused and more brownish. The hindwings are grey.[2]
