Caryocolum delphinatella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Abruzzi, the south-western Alps (Alpes-Maritimes, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Hautes-Alpes, Isère, Walliser Alpen, Alpi Cozie) and the Pyrenees (Haute-Garonne).

The length of the forewings is 7-7.5 mm for males and 6.5–7 mm for females. The forewings are blackish brown mottled with light brown. There are a number of white markings. The hindwings are grey. Adults have been recorded on wing from July to early August.

The larvae probably feed on Minuartia and Silene species.
