Pantographa gorgonalis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Druce in 1895. It is found in Mexico (Guerrero).

The forewings are yellowish-fawn, crossed by three irregular bands of semihyaline pearly-white spots. The first near the base, the second about the middle and the third beyond the cell. These bands are edged with brown on the outer side. The hindwings are pearly hyaline-white, the outer margin shaded with yellowish-fawn. There is a spot at the end of the cell and a waved blackish-brown band below it crossing from the costal to the inner margin.
