Argyresthia apicimaculella is a moth of the family Yponomeutidae. It is found in North America, including Florida, Kentucky and Ohio.

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings have a blackish or dark-brown, shining, almost triangular spot at the apex and three pale and indistinct brownish costal streaks before it. There is also a bright pale golden basal streak just within the costal margin.[2]

Adults have been observed in oak woods in June and July. It is thought the larvae feed on Quercus species.
