Dichomeris cinctella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864.[1] It is found in Peru and Amazonas, Brazil.[2]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are reddish brown. The stigmata are very small, white, partly edged blackish, the plical slightly before the first discal. There is a small spot of grey suffusion on the costa at three-fourths and a very fine whitish curved-subsinuate line from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus. There are also black marginal dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[3]
