Aristotelia balanocentra is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in South Africa, where it has been recorded from KwaZulu-Natal.[1][2]

The wingspan is 11-12 mm. The forewings are fuscous irregularly mixed with dark fuscous and with a blackish dot beneath the costa at one-sixth, one obliquely beneath and beyond it, a larger one beneath the costa beyond one-third, a black dash on the fold beneath this, and an elongate dot in the disc at two-thirds. The hindwings are pale grey.[3]
