Anacampsis chlorodecta is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1932. It is found in Manchuria.

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are grey, with the bases of the scales whitish-blue-grey. There is a small blackish-grey spot on the dorsum at one-fifth, and one beyond it on the fold. The plical and first discal stigmata are obscurely darker grey, the plical beneath the first discal or slightly anterior. There is a rather broad blackish transverse fascia at two-thirds and a triangular whitish-ochreous spot on the costa beyond it, extended into the cilia. There are also obscure blackish marginal dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.
