Coleophora linosyridella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found from Germany to the Pyrenees and Italy and from Great Britain to Romania.

The wingspan is 11.5-13.5 mm. Adults are on wing from late June to August in one generation per year.[2]

The larvae feed on Aster linosyris, Aster sedifolius and Aster tripolium. They create a tubular silken case of up to 8 mm long. Behind the mouth, the case is sharply bent resulting in a mouth angle of 0°.[3] Mining occurs up to April.
