Gnorimoschema vibei is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Wolff in 1964. It is found in western Greenland and northern Quebec.

The length of the forewings is 5-6.5 mm. The colour of the forewings varies from almost black to light grey. There are dark central spots surrounded by yellow-orange scales.

The larvae feed on Salix glauca and sometimes Betula nana. They mine the leaves of their host plant.
