Gnorimoschema ramulata is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1926. It is found in India.

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous suffused light brownish, darker brown towards the base and with the extreme base dark fuscous. The costa is suffused dark fuscous from the base, from the middle to near the apex expanded in a band occupying the costal third of the wing. There is a suffused dark fuscous streak along the upper margin of the cell posteriorly merged in this, and two suffused dark fuscous interneural streaks from the cell to the termen beneath the apex. The stigmata are cloudy and dark fuscous, the plical obliquely before the first discal, some irregular dark fuscous clouding between these. There is also a marginal series of large dark fuscous dots around the apical part of the costa and termen to the tornus. The hindwings are grey.
