Stigmella sanguisorbae is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. 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.
