Gelechia bianulella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

The wingspan is 17–19 mm. The forewings are light grey speckled blackish, the veins more or less marked with blackish lines and with a broad white costal streak slightly speckled dark grey from the base to about the middle, marked with a small blackish spot on the base of the costa and a fine linear subcostal mark beyond this. The discal stigmata form round spots of blackish suffusion ringed whitish, the posterior two-thirds of the cell mostly suffused blackish round these, the plical stigma indicated by a blackish longitudinal mark beneath the first discal. Towards the posterior half of the costa and termen, the groundcolour is somewhat streaked whitish suffusion between the veins. The hindwings are whitish-grey, the veins suffused grey.
