Phyllonorycter millierella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is found in southern Europe, including Spain , France , Switzerland , Italy, Croatia, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Greece.
The larvae feed on Celtis australis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. They create a lower surface tentiform mine without clear folds. The lower epidermis is silvery grey and densely mottled with rusty brown or dark grey specks. At the upperside the mine forms a blister, which is discoloured except for the green centre. There may be several mines in a single leaf. Pupation takes place within the mine.
