Aeolanthes is a genus of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea.
Its relationships are enigmatic – many authors separate it in a monotypic subfamily Aeolanthinae, but there is disagreement over whether to place them in the Elachistidae, Lecithoceridae or Oecophoridae. Recent studies place it in the Depressariidae.
