Digitivalva granitella is a moth of the family Acrolepiidae. It is found in most of Continental Europe, except Fennoscandia, the Netherlands, Portugal, the Baltic region, the western part of the Balkan Peninsula and Ukraine.[1]

The wingspan is 11–14 mm.[2] Adults are on wing from June to July and again from August to September in two generations per year. The adult overwinters and reappears the following spring.[3]

The larvae feed on Inula conyza. They mine the leaves of their host plant. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.[4] Larvae can be found from April to May and again from June to July.
