Scrobipalpa suaedivorella is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Chrétien in 1915. It is found in Tunisia, Algeria, Spain, south-western Russia, Turkey and Iran.

The wingspan is 14–15 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish, lightly tinged with red. The hindwings are white.

The larvae feed on Suaeda species, including Suaeda drepanophylla, Suaeda microphylla and Suaeda physophora. They spin twigs together and mine the leaves.
