Compsolechia refracta is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana, Peru and Brazil.

The wingspan is 12-13 mm. The forewings are dark brown with four very obscure violet-fuscous direct transverse fasciae, the first moderate and subbasal, the second broad and antemedian, the third very broad and postmedian and the fourth from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus, sometimes slightly incurved, narrow and posteriorly suffused. There is a small obscure spot of ground colour in the third representing the second discal stigma. The hindwings are dark fuscous.
