Autosticha pentagona is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Park and Wu in 2003. It is found in China (Guangdong).

The wingspan is 11.5–12 mm. The forewings are pale greyish-orange, sparsely scattered with fuscous scales, more below the costa. There are three to four dark streaks at the subbasal area and the costa is almost straight and brownish orange. The first discal stigma is found at the middle, the plical below the first and the second at the end of the cell. There is a series of brownish fuscous dots along the pre-apical part of the costa and termen. The tornus is suffused with brownish scales. The hindwings are pale orange grey.

Etymology
