Pompographa is a genus of small moths in the family Lecithoceridae. It has one known species, Pompographa philosopha, which is found in Assam, India. The species was first described in 1911 by Meyrick and was previously placed in the genus Brachmia (as Brachmia philosopha).

The wingspan is about 13–15 mm. The forewings are dark brown (fuscous) with a triangular patch of darker shading on the dorsum before the middle. The leading edge (costa) is dark from about one-third of the way to the tip. A small whitish spot sits on the middle of the costa, with a nearby patch of whitish speckling. There are two small blackish spots edged with white scales near the middle of the wing. A pale, wavy whitish line appears near the outer part of the wing at about four-fifths, sharper toward the costa. There is also a black line along the outer edge. The hindwings are grey.
