Trifurcula lavandulae is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found in Spain and southern France.
The wingspan is 5-5.6 mm.
The larvae feed on Lavandula angustifolia and Lavandula latifolia. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a narrow upper-surface corridor. The larva mines in two or three leaves, migrating from one leaf to the other by way of the petiole and the rind of the stem. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.
