Coleophora jynxella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in southern France and Spain.

The larvae feed on Artemisia campestris. They create a trivalved, tubular silken case of about 7 mm with a mouth angle of about 30°. The case somewhat narrows to the rear end and is scattered with grains of sand.[2]
