Cacochroa is a moth genus of the superfamily Gelechioidea.
The systematic placement is problematic due to insufficient research. Usually placed in tribe Orophiini of subfamily Oecophorinae today, in particular in older treatments it is variously placed in a distinct tribe Cacochroini and/or assigned to subfamily Depressariinae, which are alternatively treated as a subfamily of the Elachistidae or an independent family of Gelechioidea.
