Phyllonorycter longispinata is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is known from the islands of Hokkaidō and Honshū in Japan.[2]

The larvae feed on Alnus hirsuta and Alnus japonica. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a ptychonome, yellowish- or brownish-green, rather elongate, large mine on the underside of the leaf, between two veins.
