Schiffermuelleria tripuncta is a species of concealer moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is found in much of Europe. The species was formerly a member of the genus Telechrysis and is sometimes called Telechrysis tripuncta.[1][2]

The wingspan of this moth is 10–14 mm.[3] Adults have three pale, evenly spaced spots on each forewing.[4] They are on wing in May and June.

The larvae are thought to feed in dead or rotting wood.[5]
