Coelolepida is a clade of insects in the lepidopteran order, containing the infraorders Acanthoctesia, Lophocoronina, Neopseustina, Exoporia and Heteroneura, with the latter three grouped in clade Myoglossata.

Coelolepida comprise all non-eriocraniid Glossata. They have scales on their wings and on the first thoracic spiracle. They do not have ocelli.

Fossils of Coelolepida have been found in the mid Early Cretaceous period.
