Bucculatrix trifasciella is a moth in the Bucculatricidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Kentucky, Ohio and Ontario.

The wingspan is 7.5–8 mm. The forewings are ocherous, with silvery marks in males and dull whitish or pale ocherous marks in females. The hindwings are fuscous in males and paler and more ocherous in females. Adults have been recorded on wing from April to August.
