Dichomeris rectifascia is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Hou-Hun Li and Zhe-Min Zheng in 1997. It is found in Gansu, China.[1]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are yellow, mixed with dark brown, especially at the base and termen, almost forming a blotch or fascia. The costal margin is black basally and there is a black fascia at three-fifths, not reaching the costal margin, with a black spot within the cell and at fold respectively; cilia are yellow, but ochreous yellow on the tornus. The hindwings are greyish brown.[2]
