Acrocercops hoplocala is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from New South Wales and Queensland.[2]

The larvae feed on Eucalyptus botryoides and Eucalyptus robustus. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a short linear mine which soon opens into a roughly circular botch.
