Coleophora japonicella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in Japan^[1] and Korea.^[2]

The wingspan is about 10.5 mm for males and 11-13 mm for females.

The larvae feed on Ulmus davidiana var. japonica. They create a brownish-grey leaf-case which is slightly bent towards the base and 11-12 mm in length. The larvae mine into the leaf of their host plant until mid June, but some are full-grown before hibernation.^[3]
