Carposina adreptella is a moth of the Carposinidae family. It is endemic to New Zealand.[2]

Meyrick misinterpreted Walker's type material and C. adreptella was long considered the New Zealand raspberry budmoth, whereas this was in fact a species different from Carposina adreptella that is now known as Carposina rubophaga.[2]
