Dichomeris albiscripta is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is known from southern India.[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are dark-slaty-fuscous, with violet reflections. The veins are sprinkled with blackish and the stigmata are small, whitish and with the plical beneath the first discal. There is a very fine interrupted whitish line from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, obtusely angulated above the middle and there is a pale ochreous apical patch, with the anterior edge nearly straight, enclosing two or three dark-grey longitudinal marks. The hindwings are light-bronzy fuscous.[2]
