Gnorimoschema pedmontella is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Chambers in 1877. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Colorado and Ontario.

The forewings are red-brown or maroon colour, sparsely dusted with dark-brown on the disc, but densely so along the margins, especially in the apical part of the wing, where brown is the prevailing hue and is dusted with white. The hindwings are pale leaden-grey.
