Trifurcula teucriella is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is found in southern France and Spain.

The larvae feed on Teucrium chamaedrys . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a corridor, widening into a blotch that may occupy the entire leaf. The larva may move to the opposite leaf through the petiole. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.
