Ectoedemia phaeolepis is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is endemic to the Iberian Peninsula.
The wingspan is 5.4–6 mm. Adults are on wing from late May to early August.
The larvae feed on Quercus ilex and Quercus rotundifolia. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a narrow sinuous gallery which changes later into a large blotch with two lateral bands of frass.
