Hypatima disposita is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1931. It is found in Brazil.

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are white with black markings. There is a dot on the base of the costa, a small spot on the base of the dorsum, a quadrate spot on the costa near the base with the lower angles projecting, an oblique mark in the disc beyond this, a dot beneath the costa before the middle and dots representing the stigmata, the discal approximated, a small spot between them, the plical slightly before the first discal. A short mark is found beneath the costa at two-thirds, and one just above the tornus. There is a dash towards the termen in the middle and some black scales and slight fuscous suffusion at the apex. The hindwings are light grey, whitish-suffused towards the base.
