Tischeria ekebladella is a moth of the family Tischeriidae. It is found in most of Europe and the Caucasus.

The wingspan is 8–11 mm. Forewings deep ochreous yellow, suffusedly irrorated with fuscous towards costa posteriorly and apex. Hindwings rather dark grey. Closely resembles Tischeria dodonea . Certain identification requires examination of a genitalia preparation. Adults are on wing from May to June depending on the location.

The larvae feed on Castanea mollissima , C. sativa , Quercus cerris , Q. dalechampii , Q. faginea , Q. frainetto , Q. macranthera , Q. macrocarpa , Q. macrolepis , Q. pedunculiflora , Q. petraea , Q. pubescens , Q. robur , Q. rubra and Q. serrata × turneri. They mine the leaves of their host plant.
