Sarisophora leptoglypta is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm (0.55 in). The forewings are fuscous-whitish irrorated with dark fuscous, all veins marked with fine yellow-whitish streaks. The costal edge is suffused with dark fuscous. The stigmata are indicated by very indistinct spots of darker suffusion, the plical very obliquely beyond the first discal.[2] The hindwings are light ochreous-yellow, with the apical third rather dark fuscous.[3]
