Ornativalva tamariciella is a small moth from the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Zeller in 1850. The species is found in northern Italy and Croatia, and possibly in Saudi Arabia, though those records may refer to Ornativalva heluanensis. The wingspan is about 10–11.5 mm. Adults are active in May and June. The larvae feed on Tamarix species, including Tamarix gallica.
