Lecithocera carpaea is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1906. It is found in Sri Lanka.

The wingspan is 13-14 mm. The forewings are ochreous-yellow, with some fine scattered black scales and with a very small blackish spot on the base of the costa, as well as a rather curved outwardly oblique thick black mark in the disc about two-fifths, as well as a small round black discal spot before three-fourths. The hindwings are light grey, paler and whitish-tinged towards the base.
