Ectoedemia terebinthivora is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is only known from Greece (Ionian and Aegean islands) and Turkey (Anatolia).

The wingspan is 4.1-5.2 mm. Adults are on wing from June to July and from May to June. There are probably two generations per year.

The larvae feed on Pistacia terebinthus . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a strongly contorted gallery with a narrow line of brown frass. Later, the mine widens into an elongate, irregular blotch with dispersed brown frass.
