Brachmia strigosa is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found on Borneo.

The wingspan is 9-11 mm. The forewings are pale yellow-ochreous, sprinkled with ferruginous points, especially on the dorsal half. There is a black dot near the base towards the costa, sometimes one on the base of the fold, and a small spot on the base of the dorsum. The stigmata is black, the plical somewhat obliquely before the first discal. There is a cloudy blackish dot on the dorsum beneath the second discal and a row of submarginal black dots around the posterior half of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey.
