Phyllonorycter endryella is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from the Iberian Peninsula, southern France, Corsica, Sardinia and Maghreb.
The larvae feed on Quercus coccifera, Quercus ilex and Quercus suber. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a large, lower-surface tentiform mine. The mine causes the leaf margin to fold.[2]
