Hypatima binummulata is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found in South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal).

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are grey speckled whitish with a black dot towards the costa near base and a semi-oval black spot on the middle of the costa, two superposed suboval black spots in the disc slightly before this, and a few black scales between these and the dorsum. There is an erect darker grey spot somewhat mixed black from the dorsum before the tornus, and a transverse darker grey spot in the disc beyond this. The hindwings are grey.
