Scrobipalpa dagmaris is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Povolný in 1987. It is found in Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Mongolia.^[1] Although the type location is northern Italy,^[2] the species is probably not found in Europe. The type location was probably mistakenly given as Italy.^[3]

The length of the forewings is about 6 mm (0.24 in). The ground colour of the forewings is brownish with well defined blackish markings. The hindwings are dirty whitish, with greyish margins.^[4]

The larvae feed on Haloxylon persicum.
