Acleris forsskaleana, the maple leaftier moth, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Europe and North America[1] in woodlands and gardens.

The wingspan is 12–17 mm. The moth flies from June to September from dusk onwards.

The main food plants in Europe are field maple (Acer campestre) and sycamore (A. pseudoplatanus); the larvae can also be found on Norway maple (A. platanoides).

The name honours Peter Forsskål.
