Phyllocnistis chrysophthalma is a moth of the family Gracillariidae, known from Karnataka, India.[1]

The species' host plants include Cinnamomum verum and Cinnamomum zeylanicum. They mine the leaves of these host plants. The mine takes the form of a blotch under the lower cuticle. It is elongated and winding, and the larva's path is marked by frass forming a wavy, continuous, fine dark line.
