Anacampsis fragariella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Busck in 1904. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan and Washington.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are light whitish brown, the colour somewhat deeper toward the tip than at the base. There is a broad, ill-defined darker, mahogany-brown fascia at the apical third. The hindwings are dark fuscous.

The larvae feed on Fragaria species.[3]
