Trichembola epichorda is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1918. It is found in India (Assam).

The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, slightly sprinkled dark fuscous towards the margins and with a line of blackish irroration along vein 12. There are three longitudinal lines of black irroration in the disc, the uppermost posteriorly furcate and running to the apex and beneath it, the median obsolescent posteriorly, lowest along the fold. There is an irregular oblique brown streak from one-third of the costa, and some suffused brown marking connecting these lines in the middle of the disc and along the termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.
