Aristotelia clavata is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are light greyish-ochreous, with some scattered fuscous and dark fuscous scales, more numerous along the costa and termen. There is a small blackish subbasal spot on the costa and the plical and first discal stigmata are confluent to form a transverse blackish spot. The second discal is represented by a small yellow-ochreous spot edged with blackish. The hindwings are grey.[3]
