Notocelia cynosbatella is a moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found from Europe to eastern Russia, it is also found in Asia Minor, Iran and Mongolia.

The wingspan is 16–22 mm. Adults are on wing in May and June.

The larvae feed on Rosa and occasionally also on Rubus, Pyrus, Malus, Prunus, Cydonia, Myrica, Carpinus and Quercus.

There is only little damage to the foliage, but infested shoots can be distorted and flower buds destroyed.
