Elachista consortella is a moth of the Elachistidae family. It is found in most of Europe, except most of the Balkan Peninsula, Poland, Latvia and Finland.

The wingspan is 7–8 millimetres (0.28–0.31 in). Adults are on wing from April to September.

The larvae possibly feed on Cynodon dactylon, although other records state it feeds on Poa annua. They mine the leaves of their host plant. Larvae can be found from April to August.
