Coproptilia glebicolorella is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Snellen in 1903. It is found on Sumatra and western Java.

The wingspan is 16-25 mm. The forewings are clay brown, with slightly lighter veins and ill-defined blackish-brown streaks in the cells at the base. The hindwings are greyer than the forewings up to half, then become the same colour as the forewings.
