Nealyda bicolor is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1892. It is found in the West Indies, where it has been recorded from St. Vincent.

The wingspan is about 7 mm. The forewings are rich fawn-brown to very near the middle, beyond fuscous speckled with pale cinereous. The margin of the two colours is straight and distinct across the wing, but with no dividing-line. The hindwings are pale greyish fuscous.
