Dichomeris levigata is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1913.^[1] It is found in Sri Lanka.^[2]

The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are pale yellow-ochreous with a very small dark fuscous spot on the base of the costa, and an elongate dark fuscous mark at two-thirds, the costa between these obscurely dotted with dark fuscous. The stigmata is dark fuscous, the plical rather large, slightly before the first discal. There is also a narrow rather dark purplish-fuscous terminal fascia which is widest at the apex and narrowed to the tornus. The hindwings are grey.^[3]
