''Neurobathra strigifinitella'' is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Québec, Canada, and the United States .

The larvae feed on ''Castanea'' species , ''Castanopsis'', ''Fagus'' species and ''Quercus'' species . They probably mine the leaves of their host plant. The mines may be found under the edge of a turned down leaf.
