Stigmella benanderella is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. 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.
