Epinotia immundana is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in China (Qinghai), Russia and Europe.
The wingspan is 12–14 mm. As in many other species of the genus Epinotia, it is fairly variable in colour. Often there is a large, triangular white spot at the dorsal edge of the forewings and a smaller stain at the back corner. The hindwings are light grey-brown.
In the British Isles and adjoining areas of continental Europe, the moth flies from April to June and again, in the south, in August and September.
The larvae mainly feed on alder Alnus glutinosa, birch and rose.
