Gelechia leptospora is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Costa Rica.

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are smooth dark bronzy-fuscous with groups of three or four grey-whitish scales indicating the stigmata, the plical obliquely before the first discal, a few similar scales scattered on the fold. There is a slightly oblique transverse mark of grey-whitish scales from the costa about three-fourths, and two or three scales near the tornus opposite. The hindwings are dark grey.
