Agonopterix sapporensis is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Shōnen Matsumura in 1931.[1] It is found on the Japanese island of Hokkaido[2] 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 one-half, joined by a black dash. There are also two faint white blotches from each set of cell markings to the subcosta.[3]
