Fulcrifera tricentra is a moth of the family Tortricidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1907. It is found in India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia (Java) and probably also China. [1] It has also been reported from South Africa, but this seems doubtful.

The wingspan is 10–13 mm.

The larvae feed on Crotalaria juncea , Phaseolus mungo , Dolichos lablab , Dolichos biflorus and Tephrosia purpurea .
