Chrysoesthia boseae is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found on the Canary Islands.
The wingspan is 7–8 mm. The forewings are black with a bright golden fascia. The hindwings are grey.
The larvae feed on Bosea yervamora. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a strongly contorted corridor which is almost completely filled with frass. Later, the mine widens into a full-depth blotch.
