Acleris sparsana is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found from western Europe to the Caucasus and Iran.^[2]

The wingspan is 18–22 mm. The moth flies from June to May of the following year.

The larvae The larva at first lives in a slight web on the underside of a leaf of Fagus, Carpinus, Acer pseudoplatanus or Acer campestre. Later on, it constructs a chamber between spun leaves as a base from which to feed on the surrounding foliage. Pupation occurs in the leaves, or in a slight cocoon on the ground. The adult hibernates.
