Aristotelia crypsixantha is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Turner in 1919. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.

The wingspan is 12-13 mm. The forewings are grey with obscure ochreous streaks from the base beneath the costa to one-third, along the fold, and in the middle from one-third to the termen. There is a short blackish streak on the fold near the base and a blackish discal dot at one-third and sometimes another at two-thirds. Some blackish scales are found at the apex. The hindwings are grey.
