Rhyacionia pinicolana is a moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found from northern and central Europe to eastern Russia and Korea.
The wingspan is 16–23 mm. Adults are on wing from mid July to the end of August.
The larvae feed on Pinus sylvestris, Pinus halepensis and Pinus nigra var. nigra. In Pinus sylvestris, the larvae feed in the shoots, causing a resinous exudation and distortion, sometimes causing damage to the leading shoot.
