Phyllobrostis jedmella is a moth in the family Lyonetiidae. It is found in Algeria and Spain.

The wingspan is 5.5–6 mm. Adults are on wing in April.

The larvae feed on Thymelaea microphylla . They may mine the leaves of their host plant, but primarily feed on the female flowers. When these are unavailable, leaves are completely mined out. Pupation takes place in a white cocoon between leaves and on the twigs.
