Dichomeris maturata is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Zimbabwe.

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are deep pinkish-ochreous tinged with brownish, with a violet gloss, rather infuscated towards the costa. There is a rather oblique transverse bar of dark violet-fuscous suffusion in the disc slightly before the middle, parallel to the termen, and a cloudy transverse mark representing the second discal stigma. There is a slender streak of dark violet-fuscous suffusion along the termen, and some suffusion along the apical part of the costa. The hindwings are grey, paler towards the base.
