Lecithocera terrena is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Turner in 1919. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is 15-17 mm. The forewings are ochreous-grey-whitish, with the first discal dot at one-third, dark fuscous and distinct. The plical is obsolete and the second, nearly obsolete, discal is found before two-third. There is some fuscous irroration between it and the tornus and some fuscous irroration on the termen. The hindwings are grey-whitish.
