Athrips ravida is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in China (Ningxia).

The wingspan is 15–18 mm. The forewings are covered with grey, black-tipped scales. There are paired and sometimes fused indistinct black points near the base, two black spots at one-third and two smaller black spots at two-thirds. The hindwings are light grey. Adults are on wing from June to August.

Etymology
