Coleophora honshuella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in Japan (Honshu) and Korea.
The wingspan is 15-19 mm. Adults are on wing from late July to early August.
The larvae feed on the leaves of Artemisia princeps. They create a large transparent blotch-mine in June. When full-fed, they fasten their case on the lower part of the stalk of the host plant.
