Agriphila plumbifimbriella is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1904.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from British Columbia, Alberta and the western United States. The habitat consists of grassland areas in mountains and foothills.

The wingspan is 18–20 mm. The forewings are pale ochraceous with orange-brown scales. The hindwings are pale grey. Adults are on wing in June and July.

The larvae probably feed on the roots of grass species.[2]
