Eriopsela quadrana is a moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in most of Europe (except Iceland, the Iberian Peninsula, Ukraine, and the Balkan Peninsula), east to the eastern part of the Palearctic ecozone.

The wingspan is about 12–16 mm. Adults are on wing from May to June. They appear in the late afternoon.

The larvae feed on Solidago virgaurea and Succissa pratensis. They fold the leaves upwards and feed within.
