Bucculatrix flourensiae is a moth in the Bucculatricidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Arizona.

The wingspan is 6.5–7 mm. The forewings are greyish white, with a faint ocherous tinge. Most of the scales shade through ocherous to blackish brown at the tips. The hindwings are pale fuscous.

The larvae feed on Flourensia cernua. The entire leaf, except the upper epidermis and the network of veins, is consumed. Pupation takes place in a pale green cocoon, which is spun on the underside of the leaf.
