Hellinsia albilobata is a moth of the family Pterophoridae. It is found in North America, including the Northwest Territories.

The wingspan is 25 millimetres (0.98 in). The forewings are deep smoky grey with a slight sprinkling of white scaling. There is a broad band of white scaling extending along the inner margin, extending over the entire second lobe and the lower half of the first lobe. There is also a faint dark spot in the cell and another, more distinct, at the base of the cleft. The hindwings are concolorous with the forewings.[2]
