Hyposmocoma unicolor is a species of moth of the Cosmopterigidae family. It is endemic to Molokai and possibly Kauai and Oahu.
Larvae of what were considered to be this species were discovered in the dead wood of Acacia koa, Alectryon, Bidens, Cheirodendron, Clermontia, Elaeocarpus bifidus, Freycinetia, Diospyros and Wikstroemia. All of the hostplant records are from Dr. Swezey, and may include details of more than one species.
