Micropterix rablensis is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae that was described by Zeller in 1868. It is probably restricted to Carinthia in Austria and to the adjacent areas of Styria in Austria and Italy and potentially of Slovenia. Its Croatian, Romanian and French existence is doubtful.

Adults have been found at outskirts of forest with tall herbaceous vegetation and bushes, congregating on Aruncus dioicus.

The forewing length is 3–3.4 millimetres (0.12–0.13 in) for males and 3.25–3.8 millimetres (0.128–0.150 in) for females.
