Garrha moderatella is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria and Tasmania.[2]

The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are pale pinkish tan with a dull reddish dot in the disc at one-third, a second on the fold somewhat beyond the first. Both are very inconspicuous. There is a third more distinct dot in the disc beyond the middle and faint indications of a posterior series. The hindwings are pale ochreous grey.[3]
