Trifurcula silviae is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is known from the Alps and Prealps of south-eastern France.

The wingspan is 5.8–7 mm for males and 5.8 mm for females. Adults were collected in an alpine meadow on a steep southern slope, where Lotus corniculatus, Anthyllis vulneraria and Onobrychis montana are the most likely candidates to be its host. The species apparently occurs over a wide range of habitats, from almost lowland Mediterranean localities to high alpine country. They are on wing from June to August.
