Symbolistis orophota is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from southern Queensland and New South Wales.

The wingspan is 11-13 mm. The forewings are pale whitish-ochreous, on the dorsal half brownish tinged and sometimes much irrorated with dark fuscous. The costal edge is ochreous and there is a very elongate wedge-shaped dark fuscous blotch, suffused beneath with yellow-ochreous, along the costa from one-third to three-fourth, acute anteriorly. There is also a blackish discal dot before three-fourths, as well as some black scales on the costa towards the apex. The hindwings are grey.
