Tornodoxa dubicanella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Ueda in 2012.[1] It is found in Japan[2] (Hokkaido, Kyushu).

The length of the forewings is 5-6.5 mm for males and 5-5.5 mm for females. The forewings are whitish, irregularly tinged with pale brownish grey and scattered with fuscous scales. There is a fuscous dot on the costa at the base and a fuscous dot on the subcosta near the base. There is also a narrow, elongate fuscous mark on the median fifth of the costa and an oval pale fuscous suffusion before the middle of the cell. The hindwings are pale ochreous.[3]
