Ectoedemia andalusiae is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found on the Iberian Peninsula, as well as in France.
The wingspan is 5.4-6.9 mm. Adults have been collected in June, July and September.
The larvae feed on Quercus coccifera. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a narrow corridor, filled with frass, that widens into a large, oval, upper-surface blotch with frass concentrated in its basal part and along the sides.
