Commatica hexacentra is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas).

The wingspan is about 9 mm. The forewings are dark grey, becoming dark bronzy-fuscous towards the costa posteriorly. There is a very fine whitish line from a white mark on the costa at two-thirds to the dorsum before the tornus, acutely angled in the middle, both halves straight and very oblique. There are three white dots on the termen. The hindwings are dark grey.
