Dichomeris fuscalis is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Kyu-Tek Park and Ronald W. Hodges in 1995.[1] It is found in China (Hong Kong) and Taiwan.[2]

The wingspan is 16–17 mm.[3] There is a dark brown fascia on the anterior margin of the forewings, connected with the median fascia, but separate from a small discal streak. There is a subterminal fascia, followed by a greyish-orange line. The hindwings are dark grey.[4]

The larvae feed on Millettia nida.
