Coleophora sisteronica is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found in southern France, Spain and Italy.

The larvae feed on Coronilla minima. They create a dark brown composite leaf case of 2.5–4 mm with a mouth angle of 45°. The case is composed of about ten mined leaflets. The mouth opening is shifted laterally, so the case lies on its side on the leaf.[2] Larvae can be found from autumn to May. The species is nocturnal.[3]
