Compsolechia suspectella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walker in 1864. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas).[1]

Adults are dark cupreous-brown, the forewings tinged with metallic green and with a few black points in the disc near the base. The exterior white line is obsolete, with the exception of a white streak, which extends obliquely from the costa. There are a few small white and deep black longitudinal streaks nearer the exterior border, which is convex and slightly oblique. The marginal line is cinereous.[2]
