Coleophora hydrolapathella is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found from Great Britain to Poland , Slovakia, Hungary and Romania and from Norway and Sweden to Belgium, Germany and Austria. It is also known from Latvia and southern Russia .

The wingspan is 13–14 mm.[2] Adults are on wing from June to early August in one generation per year.

The larvae feed on the flowers and seeds of water dock (Rumex hydrolapathum). They create a reddish-brown, tubular case made entirely of silk. Full-grown larvae attach their case to the stem of the food plant and hibernate.[3]
