Acanthopsyche is a genus of moths in the Psychidae family. The genus was named by the Dutch entomologist Franciscus J.M. Heylaerts.

The males are relatively large, with a wingspan of 15–28 mm. The females are apterous (i.e. wingless) and have rudimentary antennae and legs. The eyes are reduced to black spots. The larvae live in a case which is covered longitudinally with plant matter.
