Phyllonorycter intermixta is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from Québec in Canada and Connecticut, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont in the United States.

The larvae feed on Corylus americana. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a rather large, tentiform mine between two veins. Most of the parenchyma is consumed, with only a few patches in the center remaining.
