Lampronia fuscatella is a moth of the Prodoxidae family. It is found in most of Europe, with the exception of Iceland, Ireland, Portugal, Italy and most of the Balkan Peninsula. To the east its range extends to the Baltic region and northern Russia.
The wingspan is 14–18 mm. Adults are on wing from May to June and are active in the afternoon sunshine.
The larvae form a swelling, or gall on a twig of a Betula species, usually at a node, within which it feeds.
