Ardozyga polioxysta 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 18 mm. The forewings are pale shining grey with fuscous irroration and markings. The costal edge is whitish, beyond the middle ochreous-tinged and with a dark fuscous dot on the base of the costa. The stigmata are indistinct, the first discal at one-fourth, the plical beyond it, the second discal at three-fifths and several other dots irregularly distributed. There is also a subterminal series of dots. The hindwings are whitish becoming grey towards apex.[2]
