Bryotropha figulella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found along the Atlantic coast of France and the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, including Algeria and Libya. There is a dubious record from Great Britain.
The wingspan is 11–16 mm.[2] Adults have been recorded on wing from late April to early October probably in two generations per year.
The larvae possibly feed on Silene nicaeensis.
