Gelechia griseaella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Ontario.[1]

The forewings are white, overlaid with brown, so as to give a greyish cast. In the costal and apical portions of the wing the brown scales are condensed into numerous irregular and indefinite spots and streaks.[2]
