Leptozestis oxyptera is a moth in the Cosmopterigidae family. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.[1]

The wingspan is 8-10 mm. The forewings are ashy-grey-whitish with a fuscous spot on the inner margin before middle, edged anteriorly by a whitish streak. There is a black spot above the anal angle, and two or three along the costa towards the apex. The hindwings are greyish, but ochreous-tinged at the base.[2]
