Micropterix cypriensis is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae, and was first described by John Heath in 1985 from specimens collected in Cyprus. The holotype male was collected from Yermasoyia, Limassol on 11 March 1979 and is now in the Natural History Museum, Stockholm. It was thought to be the first time a Micropterix had been recorded on Cyprus and it is an endemic species of that island.
