The Pine Shoot Moth (Rhyacionia buoliana) is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in North Africa, North Asia, Europe, North America, and South America.

Caterpillar
Mounted male

The wingspan is 16–24 mm. Adults are on wing from June to August in western Europe.

The larvae feed on pine. The original host plants are Pinus sylvestris and Pinus nigra. The host plant spectrum has been expanded to more members of the genus Pinus after the introduction of North American pine species into Europe and after transport of Rhyacionia buoliana to North and South America. This species is also recorded from Abies alba.
