Coleophora polonicella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in Lithuania, Poland and Romania.

The wingspan is 9–10 mm. Adults are on wing in June and July.[2]

The larvae feed on Astragalus arenarius. They create a greyish, laterally strongly compressed sheath case. The last part is bent downwards. The case has about twenty indistinct ridges. The mouth angle is about 20°.[3] Larvae can be found from autumn to July.
