Incurvaria oehlmanniella is a moth of the family Incurvariidae. It is found in Europe and across the Palearctic to eastern Siberia.

Its wingspan is 12–16 mm. Head deep ochreous yellow. Forewings dark bronzy-fuscous, mixed with purplish ; a subtriangular dorsal spot before middle, a smaller one before tornus, and a third sometimes nearly obsolete on costa at 3/4 pale yellowish. Hindwings rather dark purplish-grey.[1] It flies from April to July, depending on the location.

The larvae feed on bilberry, cloudberry, Cornus (syn. Swida) and Prunus.
