Coleophora eupreta is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and the Republic of Macedonia.

The larvae feed on Helianthemum apenninum, Helianthemum canum, Helianthemum guttatum, Helianthemum lavandulifolium, Helianthemum nummularium and Helianthemum sessiliflorum. They create a brown leaf case of 7–8 mm. The case is covered by dense wool and has a mouth angle of about 35°.[2]
