Coleophora vibicigerella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found from Sweden and Finland to the Iberian Peninsula, Italy and Bulgaria and from Great Britain to the Baltic states. It is also found in North Africa, China and Korea.

The wingspan is 10.5–14 mm.[2] Adults are on wing in late May and June.[3]

The larvae feed on Achillea millefolium and Artemisia campestris. They create a laterally strongly compressed, two-valved, black silken case, which is narrowed behind the mouth. The mouth angle is about 0°.[4] Larvae can be found from September to May.
