Infurcitinea ignicomella is a moth of the Tineidae family. It was described by Heydenreich in 1851. It is found in large parts of Europe, except Ireland, Great Britain, Belgium, the Iberian Peninsula, Ukraine and most of the Balkan Peninsula.

The wingspan is 8–12 mm. The forewings are light brown with three white bands and three costal spots. Adults are on wing from May to August.
