Acleris comariana, the strawberry tortrix, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Europe, the Caucasus, Amur, Kamchatka, China, Korea and Japan.^[1]

The wingspan is 13–18 mm.^[2] The forewings are oblong, grey, sometimes tinged with ochreous or reddish, distinctly darker-strigulated ; tufts small, numerous, sometimes partly black ; edge of basal patch darker dorsally ; a large triangular red-brown, dark fuscous, or blackish-grey blotch on costa, sometimes with indistinct extension of central fascia to dorsum. The hindwings are grey or pale grey.The larva is pale green or whitish ; dorsal and subdorsal lines sometimes darker ; head and plate of 2 pale yellow-brown or black.^[3] Julius von Kennel provides a full description. ^[4]^[5] The species can be difficult to distinguish from Acleris laterana A genitalic preparation must be examined to determine the two species.

The larvae feed on wild and cultivated strawberries and related plants and can become a pest in strawberry fields.
