Anacampsis consonella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Zeller in 1873. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from the eastern United States and south-eastern Canada. The habitat consists of deciduous forests.

Adults are very similar to Anacampsis rhoifructella, but can be distinguished on the basis of phenology, appearance of the mature larva and genital morphology.

The larvae feed on Viburnum prunifolium.

Taxonomy

The species was incorrectly assessed as a junior synonym of A. rhoifructella, but was resurrected in 2014.
