Argyresthia undulatella is a moth of the family Yponomeutidae. It is found in North America, including Kentucky and Ohio.

The wingspan is about 9 mm. The forewings are white, with the base of the costal edge brownish and with the costal and apical parts rather freely dusted with brown scales. The hindwings are light fuscous.[2]

The larvae feed on Ulmus species, including Ulmus fulva and Ulmus rubra.[3]
