Cirrhochrista caconalis is a moth in the family Crambidae first described by Charles Swinhoe in 1900.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.

Adults are white with four brown lines across the forewings, the central pair of which form a cross. There is a form in which some of the white areas are darkened.[2]
