Capsodes flavomarginatus is a species of plant bug belonging to the family Miridae, subfamily Mirinae.

It is found in most of Europe, but not in the very north. It is found in glades, woodlands and the edges of woodlands. Often found on common cow-wheat (Melampyrum pratense), it feeds mostly on members of the Faboideae (Papilionaceae), notably clover (Trifolium), vetches (Vicia), and deervetches (Lotus).[1]
