Dichomeris resignata is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found on the Bismarck Archipelago and the New Hebrides.

The wingspan is 10-15 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, with some slight fuscous speckling on the dorsal area and very few minute black specks on the costa, as well as two small dark fuscous marks or dots beyond the middle. The stigmata is small, dark fuscous or blackish, with the plical rather obliquely before the first discal, and sometimes with an additional dot midway between the first discal and the base, as well as a marginal series of blackish dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are grey.
