Cochylimorpha cultana is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in China (Gansu, Jilin, Ningxia, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Shandong, Shanxi), Russia and Europe[2] (Portugal, Spain, France, Bulgaria and Romania).[3]

The wingspan is 13–17 mm. Adults are on wing from May to June.[4]

The larvae feed on Artemisia campestris. The feeding results in a fusiform swelling on the lateral branches of their host plant.[5]
