Ethmia albistrigella is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It is found in North America from southern British Columbia southward in the Rocky Mountains to south-western Colorado and into the Wasatch Range in northern Utah. On the Pacific coast it ranges through western Washington and Oregon into the mountains of California. Subspecies icariella is an Arctic-Alpine zone race which has only been recorded from California. The larvae feed on Phacelia ramosissima and possibly Lappula floribunda. Subspecies icariella probably feeds on Phacelia frigida.
