Trifurcula albiflorella is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found in Greece and Turkey.
The wingspan is 4.25–5 mm.
The larvae feed on Nepeta nuda albiflora. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a broad corridor, mostly along the leaf margin. The frass is deposited in a diffuse central line, leaving a broad transparent zone at either side.
