The Golden Leafroller Moth (Acleris holmiana) is a moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in most of Europe and Asia Minor.

The wingspan is about 10–15 mm. Adults are on wing from July to August. There is one generation per year.[2]

The larvae feed on a various Rosaceous trees and shrubs including Crataegus, Rubus, Pyrus, Prunus, Cydonia, Rosa and Malus. They spin two leaves together and feed within.
