Pectinivalva commoni is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found along the south-western coast of Western Australia.

The wingspan is about 5.3 mm for males and 5.3-5.6 mm for females.

The larvae feed on a Eucalyptus species, possibly Eucalyptus delegatensis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The larval mines were collected in September and adults emerged during the following February.
