Garrha atoecha is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Meyrick in 1886.^[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales and Queensland.^[2]

The wingspan is 19–23 mm. The forewings are whitish, thickly irrorated with red scales. The costal edge is red, the extreme edge whitish. The markings are purplish-fuscous and indistinct. There is a discal dot at two-fifths, and a second at four-fifths, as well as three indistinctly suffused transverse lines, all partially obsolete, first at one-fifth, second just posterior to the first and the third through the second dot, distinct on the costa. A fourth line runs parallel to the hindmargin and is indistinct towards the costa. There is a row of suffused dots along the hindmargin. The hindwings are yellow.^[3]
