Garrha phoenopis is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1916. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland and the Northern Territory.[1]

The wingspan is 14–18 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish, mixed with dull reddish and the costal edge narrowly pink. There are no defined markings, but a redder, apical area preceded by an ill-defined, paler fascia from the mid-costa to the tornus. The hindwings are ochreous-fuscous, but fuscous towards apex.[2]
