Isophrictis trimaculella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Vactor Tousey Chambers in 1874. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Kentucky and Texas.[1][2]

The forewings are ochreous, suffused and dusted with brown and with a small dark brown spot on the fold before the middle. There is also a larger one at the middle of the disc and one at its end. Some scattered dark brown scales are found along the base of the dorsal cilia, near the apex.[3]
