Stigmella sanguisorbae is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is found from Germany and Poland to Switzerland , Austria and Hungary.
The larvae feed on Sanguisorba officinalis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a gradually widening corridor. At first, it runs along the leaf margin. Then the corridor doubles in width and makes a secondary blotch. Frass can be found over the entire length in a diffuse central line. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.
