Cameraria betulivora is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Canada and the United States (including Maine and North Carolina).[2]

The wingspan is about 7 mm.

The larvae feed on Betula species, including Betula alleghaniensis, Betula lenta, Betula lutea, Betula papyrifera and Betula populifolia. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a small, sometimes almost circular, blotch upon the upper side of the leaf.
