Acrocercops chrysophylli is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from South Africa and Zimbabwe.[2]

The larvae feed on Chrysophyllum gorungosanum. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a moderate, irregular, pale ochreous, transparent blotch-mine, with a long, narrow, epidermal gallery on the upperside of the leaf.
