Ornativalva curvella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Sattler in 1976. It is found in Mongolia.

The wingspan is about 7 mm. The costal half of the forewings is greyish brown, darkest at the fold, with two dark angular projections extending across the fold into the lighter posterior half of wing. There is a small dark brown dot in the cell and a slightly larger dot at the end of the cell.

The host plant is unknown, but might be a Tamarix species.
