Dichomeris horoglypta is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1932. It is found in Japan (Honshu, Shikoku) and Korea.

The length of the forewings is 6-6.3 mm. The forewings are ochreous with dark fuscous streaks along the anterior margin, with a dark fuscous costal patch at three-fourth. There is also a dark fuscous S-shaped fascia along the dorsum, as well as two short blackish parallel streaks longitudinally.

The larvae feed on Indigofera pseudotenctoria.
