Lindera is a monotypic moth genus in the family Tineidae described by Émile Blanchard in 1854. Its only species, Lindera tessellatella, was described by the same author two years earlier.[1] It is a widely distributed species, which was first described from South America, but has been recorded from Africa, Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Hawaii.

The wingspan is 20–30 mm.
