Frisilia sejuncta is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found in southern India and Sri Lanka.

The wingspan is 12-13 mm. The forewings are light brownish, sprinkled dark fuscous and the costa suffused dark fuscous towards the base. The discal stigmata are blackish, the first moderate and dot-like, the second forming a transverse-linear mark, in males these resting on more or less dark fuscous suffusion extending over the dorsal third of the wing, darkest and best-defined anteriorly. There is some dark fuscous suffusion along the upper part of the termen. The hindwings light grey.
