Cophomantella alphanozoma is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1926. It is known from Sierra Leone and Uganda.

The wingspan is 15-16 mm. The forewings are dark purpiish-slaty-fuscous with undefined slightly oblique fasciae of blackish suffusion about one-third and two-thirds, disappearing in oblique lights, the second followed by an ochreous-whitish spot on the costa at three-fourths. The hindwings are rather dark grey.
