Scrobipalpula semirosea is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Texas.

The wingspan is 16–17 mm. The forewings are rather dark grey, minutely speckled whitish with the costal half of the wing suffusd light rose-pink except towards the costa, margined beneath by an undefined streak of blackish-grey suffusion. The stigmata are small and blackish, the discal above the upper edge of the dark streak, the plical beneath the lower edge, rather before the first discal. There are some indistinct blackish marginal spots around the apical area. The hindwings are light bluish-grey.
