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

The wingspan is 6-7 mm. The anterior half of the forewings is dark brown, with the markings angulate at the fold. The posterior half is light brown up to the apex. There is a small, sometimes indistinct, dark dot at the end of the cell. Adults have been recorded on wing in mid-June.

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