Coleophora partitella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found from Fennoscandia and to the Iberian Peninsula, Italy and Romania and from France to Poland.

The wingspan is 16-19 mm. Adults are on wing from June to July.[2]

The larvae feed on Achillea millefolium, Artemisia absinthium and Artemisia alba. They create a laterally strongly compressed, two-valved, black silken case of 10-11.5 mm long. The rear end is narrowed and the mouth angle is 20-25°.[3] Larvae can be found from September to May.
