Agonopterix sapporensis is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Matsumura in 1931.[1] It is found in Japan[2] (Hokkaido) and the Russian Far East.

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are light chestnut with a light basal patch bounded on the outer edge by a dark vertical patch. There are two black spots at the basal angle of the cell and two white spots surrounded by black circles in the cell at 1/2, joined by a black dash. There are also two faint white blotches from each set of cell markings to the subcosta.[3]
