Frechinia helianthiales is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Mary Murtfeldt in 1897.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Arizona, Illinois, Manitoba, Missouri and Oklahoma,[2] south to Mexico.

The length of the forewings is 6.5-8.5 mm. Adults have been recorded on wing from May to August.

The larvae feed on Helianthus species. They mine the leaves of their host plant.[3]
