Ectoedemia alnifoliae is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found in the Troödos mountains on Cyprus, Greece (Samos) and southern Turkey.

The wingspan is about 6.6 mm. Adults are on wing in April. There is one generation per year.

The larvae feed on Quercus alnifolia and Quercus coccifera. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a narrow, much contorted, corridor that widens into a large blotch against the leaf margin.
