Bucculatrix albella is a moth in the Bucculatricidae family. It is found in southern France, Italy and on the Balkan Peninsula.
The larvae feed on Paliurus spina-christi. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a tortuous corridor, becoming straight near the end, and ending in a larval chamber filled with frass. Several mines may be present in a single leaf. Older larvae live freely on the leaf. Larvae can be found from February to March.
