Dissoptila crocodora is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas) and Peru.

The wingspan is 9-10 mm. The forewings are purplish-grey with the basal fourth deep ochreous-yellow, from where a streak extends along the costa to near the apex, marked with a blackish dash on the costa in the middle, and a longer one about three-fourths. The discal tufts at one-third are blackish-grey. The hindwings are grey.
