Prionocris mollis is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Turner in 1946. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.

The wingspan is 19-20 mm. The forewings are pale grey with a rosy costal line with a whitish edge. The stigmata is obscure and fuscous, the first discal spot is found at one-third, the plical beyond it and the second discal before two-thirds. There is a postmedian line of minute dots, sometimes almost obsolete, from beneath three-fifths of the costa rounded in the disc, to before the tornus. There is also a terminal series of dots. The hindwings are pale ochreous, sometimes with grey suffusion towards the termen.
