Depressaria pimpinellae is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in most of Europe, except Ireland, Portugal and most of the Balkan Peninsula.
The wingspan is 16–22 mm.[2] Adults are on wing from September and after overwintering, again in the following spring.
The larvae feed on burnet-saxifrage (Pimpinella saxifraga) and greater burnet-saxifrage (Pimpinella major). They live in a silken spinning.[3]
