Coleophora autumnella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Romania and Spain.

The larvae feed on Aster alpinus and Aster amellus. They create a tubular silken case, covered with grains of sand and detritus. The youth case is 12-14 mm. In spring the very long and narrow rear end is discarded, leaving an almost straight, saucage-shaped, three-valved and 8-9.5 mm long case with a mouth angle of about 45°.^[2] Full-grown larvae can be found in May.
