Antaeotricha navicularis is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Brazil.

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are white, with the dorsal half greyish-ochreous, its upper edge partly suffused blackish-grey and a small dark grey spot on the base of the costa, as well as a blackish-grey acutely angulated line from the middle of the dorsum to the fold. There is a short oblique irregular greyish-ochreous streak from the edge of the greyish-ochreous half on the end of the cell and a light ochreous oblique line from the costa at four-fifths to the greyish-ochreous area. A small light grey spot is found on the termen above this area and there are three black marginal dots around the apex. The hindwings are whitish.
