Carcina haemographa is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1937. It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (West Kasai, Equateur).

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are bright yellow with broader markings light purplish irrorated blackish and strongly margined bright crimson, narrower markings wholly bright crimson. There is an irregular subcostal streak from the base to the termen beneath the apex, with expansions beneath near the base, before the middle, and near the apex. There is a fascia of irregular marking from the dorsum at one-third to near the central expansion of this, connected there by a slender streak with an irregular terminal blotch, trilobed anteriorly. There is also a slender terminal streak. The hindwings are whitish.
