Agonopterix issikii is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Clarke in 1962.[1] It is found in Japan.

The wingspan is 18-19 mm. The forewings are brown, suffused with fuscous. The extreme base is pale brownish-buff, this area containing a short black transverse bar, bordered by a black spot. There is fuscous suffusion in the pale basal area. There are also three black spots in the cell, the outer two forming a fuscous blotch. Between this blotch and the apex there are three fuscous spots and a broken fuscous line around the termen. The hindwings are bronzy-grey darkening to fuscous apically.[2]

The larvae feed on Orixa japonica.[3]
