Xylorycta tignaria is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.
The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish with dark brown markings. There is a moderate basal fascia, extended as a wedge-shaped streak along the costa nearly to the middle and a moderate fascia from the costa beyond the middle to the middle of the dorsum, with a branch from its middle running to the tornus, and continued as a narrower terminal fascia to the apex. The hindwings are pale ochreous-yellowish, the posterior half suffused grey.
