Scrobipalpa spergulariella is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Chrétien in 1910. It is found in Tunisia, Spain, southern France, on Sicily, in Greece and on Crete.

The wingspan is 9-10.5 mm.

The larvae feed on Spergularia azorica and Spergularia media. They spin groups of leaves together and mine them out, but may also live freely amongst the inflorescence. The larvae have a yellowish green body and light brown head.
