Ardozyga megalommata is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are whitish, suffused with dark bronzy-fuscous irroration except on the veins and the costal edge. There are two transverse-oval dark fuscous blotches in the disc at one-third and two-thirds, outlined with whitish. The hindwings are grey.[2]
