Coleophora serinipennella is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found in southern Europe, North Africa, the Near East, the eastern Palearctic realm (including Japan), as well as in Australia in south-western Queensland, South Australia and arid areas of Western Australia south of Carnarvon.[1]

The wingspan is 14–17 millimetres (0.55–0.67 in). Adults are on wing from June to August.[2]

The larvae feed on Atriplex, Halimione and Chenopodium species. They make galls in the stems of their host plant.[3]
