Agonopterix adspersella is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in southern Europe, Asia Minor, the Palestinian Territories, Iran and the Crimea.^[2]

The larvae feed on Bupleurum falcatum. They spin the leaves of their host plant together to create a shelter from which they feed. Pupation takes place on the ground in a spinning of sand grains.^[3]
