Dichomeris miltophragma is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Brazil (Para, Amazonas) and Peru.

The wingspan is 13–16 mm. The forewings are leaden-grey, with three oblique vermillion-red blotches edged by dark brown-red and then whitish, first on the base of the dorsum, the second from beneath the costa at one-fourth to near the middle of the dorsum, the third traversing the disc at two-thirds. There is an irregular-edged ferruginous line margined by pale ochreous running around the posterior two-fifths of the costa and termen. The hindwings are dark grey.
