Aristotelia centrosema is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Lower in 1893. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Tasmania, New South Wales and Victoria.

The wingspan is 10-14 mm. The forewings are ochreous-bronzy, sometimes golden-tinged, the costal half usually more or less pale, the dorsal half more or less suffused with fuscous. The costal edge is ochreous-whitish from about one-fourth to three-fourths and there is a rather narrow ochreous-white median longitudinal streak from the base to the apex. The hindwings are grey.
