Acleris bergmanniana, the yellow rose button moth, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found from most of Europe to the eastern Palearctic realm.[1]

The wingspan is 12–15 mm.[2] The forewings are marked with metallic blue-grey striations, edged with rufous. There are also two small raised tufts of black scales.[3]

Adults are on wing from June to July.[4]

The larvae feed on the leaves and shoots of rose Rosa species (Rosa canina), as well as Rhamnus cathartica.
