Coleophora brevipalpella is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found from Fennoscandia to the Pyrenees, the Alps and the Carpathian Mountains and from Germany to Romania and North Macedonia.[1]

The wingspan is 17–19 millimetres (0.67–0.75 in).[2]

The larvae feed on Centaurea aspera, Centaurea jacea, Centaurea scabiosa and Serratula tinctoria. They create a spathulate leaf case of up to 15 millimetres (0.59 in) long.[3] Full-grown larvae can be found in June.
