Garrha moderatella is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by 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 flesh-colour 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]
