Nealyda panchromatica is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1926. It is found in India (Assam).

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are iridescent dark golden-bronzy-fuscous with shining violet-leaden-metallic markings. There is a basal fascia, a rather curved narrow fascia at one-fourth, transverse spots on the costa at the middle and three-fourths, and one on the dorsum before the first of these. There is also an inwards-oblique streak from the tornus, nearly reaching the median costal spot, as well as a slender streak along the lower part of the termen. The hindwings are dark bronzy-fuscous.
