Compsolechia suspectella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found in Amazonas, Brazil.[1]

Adults are dark cupreous brown, the forewings tinged with metallic green and with a few black points in the disc near the base. The exterior white line is obsolete, with the exception of a white streak, which extends obliquely from the costa. There are a few small white and deep black longitudinal streaks nearer the exterior border, which is convex and slightly oblique. The marginal line is cinereous (ash gray).[2]
