Ardozyga taracta is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Turner in 1919. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is 12–14 mm. The forewings are dark-brown with fuscous, very obscure markings. There is an irregular angulated blotch at one-third comprising the first discal and plical, a dot above the middle, and two dots placed transversely at two-thirds. Several dots are found on the costa towards the apex. The hindwings are pale-grey, becoming whitish towards the base.
