Ardozyga tridecta is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Lower in 1900. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia.^[1]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are fuscous-whitish, irregularly sprinkled with fuscous and with a fuscous basal patch, the edge curved, dark fuscous, running from the costa near the base to the dorsum at one-fourth. There are five small dark fuscous spots on the costa and two triangular brown spots in the disc at one-third and two-thirds, representing the stigmata, blackish-edged except beneath, the anterior rather larger. There is also an undefined fuscous suffusion towards the apex and upper part of the termen. The hindwings are grey.^[2]
