Clepsis unicolorana is a moth of the Tortricidae family. It was described by Duponchel in 1835. It is found in France, Spain, Switzerland and Italy.

The wingspan is 20–24 mm.[3]

The larvae feed on Asphodelus aestivus. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine is full-depth. The mined leaves are bound together with silk. Pupation takes place within the mine. Larvae can be found in March.[4]
