Agonopterix antennariella is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Clarke in 1941.^[1] It is found in Washington, British Columbia and western Greenland.^[2]

The wingspan is 17–24 mm. The forewings are red-brown, the scales lightly tipped with carmine. There are two small black discal spots at the basal third, followed by a few cinereous scales. A white spot, edged with black, is found at the end of the cell. The apical third of the wing is shaded with cinereous. The hindwings are light fuscous.^[3]

The larvae feed on Antennaria luzuloides.
