Caloptilia laurifoliae is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from the Canary Islands and Madeira.

The larvae feed on Laurus azorica . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a lower- or upper-surface, epidermal corridor that usually begins at the midrib and runs towards the leaf margin. From here, a tentiform mine is made that is partly hidden under the folded leaf margin. Older larvae live freely in a rolled leaf. Mines are usually made in young leaves. [2]
