Gelechia unistrigella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Chambers in 1873. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Kentucky and California.[1][2]

The forewings are very sparsely dusted with pale fuscous in the apical portion. There is a fuscous spot about the middle of the costa, with two other small ones between it and the dorsal margin. A fuscous streak begins at the base of the costal margin and extends along that margin for a short distance, then passing obliquely backwards across the wing, but not quite reaching the dorsal margin.[3]
