Endothenia nigricostana, the black-edged marble, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1811.
It inhabits woodland margins and embankments where the larvae feed on marsh woundwort (Stachys palustris), eating down from the flower into the stem and roots.
This species is distributed thinly but fairly widely across the southern half of England and Wales, ranging more scarcely northwards to northern England.
