Sattleria dzieduszyckii is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Nowicki in 1864. It is found in the Carpathian Mountains of Poland, Slovakia, Romania and former Yugoslavia.[1][2]

The length of the forewings is 6.9-8.8 mm for males and 4.9-5.6 mm for females. The forewings are usually uniform without large dark areas, although some males have a diffuse dark spot at two-thirds. The plical stigma is sometimes indistinctly extended towards the base. Adults are on wing from June to mid-August.[3]

The larvae possibly feed on Saxifraga species, Silene acaulis or Cerastium species.
