Carpatolechia daehania is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in South Korea and Japan.[1]

The wingspan is 11.5–13 mm. The forewings are dark brown, with a creamy white semi-ovate patch developed beyond the basal dark fascia, with a well-developed white scale-tuft at the anterior margin and two dark fuscous scale-tufts along the posterior margin. Another two to three scale-tufts are found obliquely near the middle and there are usually two tufts at the end of the cell. The hindwings are grey.[2]
