Ephysteris leptocentra is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1912. It is found in Sri Lanka, southern India, Bengal and Burma.

The wingspan is 9–10 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, irregularly marbled with pale grey suffusion, the marblings sometimes sprinkled with blackish points. The first discal stigma is very faint and ferruginous, the plical and second discal distinct, blackish, with the plical slightly before the first discal, all these surrounded by clear spaces of ground-colour. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish or grey-whitish.
