Caloptilia umbratella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Ontario and Québec in Canada and Kentucky and Virginia in the United States.[1]

There are probably two generations per year.

The larvae feed on Acer rubrum and Acer saccharum. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a short linear mine terminating in a small flat blotch, in which the parenchyma is consumed.
