Ardozyga mechanistis is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. Described by Edward Meyrick in 1904, it is endemic to Australia, specifically the island of Tasmania.^[1]

The wingspan is 15–16 mm (0.59–0.63 in). The forewings are pale brownish-ochreous, faintly pinkish-tinged, irrorated (speckled) with fuscous and dark fuscous and with oblique cloudy dark fuscous marks on the costa at the base, one-fifth, and the middle. There is a row of elongate dark fuscous marks along the fold, and two spots in the disc representing the stigmata. A series of undefined cloudy dark fuscous spots is found beneath the costa posteriorly and along the termen. The hindwings are pale grey, becoming darker posteriorly.^[2]
