Sattleria graiaeella is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Huemer and Hebert in 2011. It is found in the western Alps of Italy and France.

The wingspan is 16.5–18.5 mm. The forewings are light cream-brown, mottled with whitish cream and with mid-brown along the costa. The black markings are well developed, consisting of a broad black stripe through the fold, an angulated dash in the middle at the end of the cell and a few black scales near the base. There is a dark brown line on the termen. The hindwings are light grey. Adults are on wing from the end of June to mid-August.
