Phyllonorycter suberifoliella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is found from southern France and the Iberian Peninsula to Greece.

There are at least two generations per year.

The larvae feed on Quercus ilex and Quercus suber. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a lower-surface tentiform mine.[2]
