Gelechia marmoratella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.[1][2]

Adults are white, the forewings speckled with black. These speckles are partly confluent and form an irregular band at the base, another in the middle, and a narrower and more irregular marginal band. The exterior border is slightly convex and very oblique. The hindwings are brownish cinereous.[3]
