Ardozyga obscura is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Turner in 1933. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is 22–24 mm. The forewings are fuscous with the markings and some sparse irroration dark fuscous. There are five discal dots at one-third, on the fold beyond this, at two-thirds, and immediately below this. The three posterior dots are circular, pale centered and there is a series of minute costal dots, as well as a subterminal series of dots near the margin. The hindwings are grey.
