Keiferia dalibori is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by King and Montesinos in 2012. It is found in southern Chile.[1][2]

The two scientists captured and discovered two moths from this species using a butterfly net at the Hualpén Peninsula in Chile in November 2010. They named the species in honor of Dalibor Povolný [cs] (1924 – 2004), who had worked on the Gnorimoschemini tribe.[2]
