Lecithocera crebrata is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found in southern India.

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous-yellowish, in males irregularly irrorated with fuscous and blackish, in females almost concealed with dense purple-blackish irroration. The discal stigmata are represented by cloudy round purple-blackish spots, their lower extremities connected in females by a streak of pale ground colour. The hindwings are pale ochreous-yellowish in males, while they are rather dark fuscous in females.. Males have a downwards-directed fringe of dense ochreous-yellow hair-scales along the lower margin of the cell, longest in the middle.
