Deltophora maculata is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Georgia, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Iran, Afghanistan[1] and Greece, as well as on Crete and Cyprus.[2] It has also been recorded from Saudi Arabia,[3] but this is based on a misidentification.

The length of the forewings is 5–7 mm. Adults have been recorded on wing from April to September and in November.
