Stigmella benanderella is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It has a scattered distribution in Europe. It has been recorded from Fennoscandia, Denmark , the Baltic region, Hungary and Slovakia.
The larvae feed on Salix phylicifolia, Salix repens and Salix rosmarinifolia. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a short corridor, almost completely filled with frass, widening into, and often overrun by, a short blotch. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.
