The Sycamore Leaf Blotch Miner (Ectoedemia platanella) is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found in the eastern parts of the United States.

The wingspan is 5.5–7 mm.

The larvae feed on Platanus species. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a narrow entrance and is filled with frass in the center. The mine has the appearance of a brown, circular blotch just below the leaf cuticle. Heavily mined leaves may drop prematurely.
