Phyllonorycter rebimbasi is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from southern France and the Iberian Peninsula.
The larvae feed on Quercus coccifera. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a large lower-surface tentiform mine. Pupation takes place in a frass-covered cocoon within the mine.[2]
