Bucculatrix eupatoriella is a moth in the family Bucculatricidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Ohio and North Carolina. It was described in 1918 by Annette Frances Braun.

The wingspan is about 5-6.8 mm. The forewings are bright brownish ocherous, with brilliant silvery markings. Adults have been recorded on wing from July to September.

The larvae feed on Eupatorium perfoliatum . They mine the leaves of their host plant. A single leaf may contain twenty or more mines. They are long, linear and much-contorted. After mining, the larvae leave the mines and form scattered small eaten patches with the upper epidermis intact. Later, the leaf may be riddled with holes when a number of larvae feed on a single leaf. Pupation takes place in a white cocoon. [2]
