Scrobipalpula potentella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Keifer in 1936. It is found in the United States, where it has been recorded from California, Mississippi and Tennessee.[1][2]

The larvae feed on Potentilla species. They mine the leaves of their host plant, usually tying and mining a succession of leaflets along the leafstalk.[3]
