Cryptophasa nesograpta is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1925. It is found in New Guinea.

The wingspan is about 40 mm. The forewings are white, with some scattered blackish-grey specks, the dorsal two-fifths suffused light ochreous-grey and the costal edge dark fuscous towards the base. The stigmata form reddish-brown spots more or less mixed dark fuscous, the first discal at one-fourth, the second transverse, the plical elongate, nearly midway between these. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish.
