Gnorimoschema debenedictisi is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Powell and Povolný in 2001. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California.[1][2]

The larvae feed on Erigeron glaucus and Solidago spathulata. They feed on the new spring growth, excavating a full-depth blotch mine in early instars.[3]
