Garrha platyporphyra is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Turner in 1946. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is 17-19 mm. The forewings are pale greyish-ochreous with a slender rosy line on the costa with the extreme costal edge whitish. There are two large purple-fuscous blotches, one basal with a straight margin at one-third, the other apical. There are also two small purple-fuscous spots, one on the midcosta, another beneath the middle of the disc. The hindwings are fuscous.
