Epiblema sticticana is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in almost all of Europe, as well as the eastern Palearctic ecozone and the Near East.

The wingspan is 15–20 mm. Adults are on wing from May to June.[2]

The larvae feed on Tussilago farfara, Petasites fragrans and Arctium lappa.[3] They initially feed in the roots, but later in the flower stems.
