Thudaca circumdatella is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walker in 1864. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.

The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings are snow white with a suffused brownish-ochreous streak along the basal half of the costa, attenuated and very indistinct posteriorly. There is a straight brownish-orange subdorsal streak from the base to the anal angle, the upper edge with short triangular projection near the extremity. The hindwings are ochreous-grey whitish.
