'''''Stigmella minusculella''''' is a [[moth]] of the [[Nepticulidae]] family. It is found from [[Denmark]] and [[Latvia]] to the [[Pyrenees]], [[Corsica]], [[Italy]] and [[Crete]], and from [[Great Britain]] to [[Ukraine]]. It is also present in North America, where it is found in [[Ohio]], [[New Jersey]] and [[Ontario]].

The [[wingspan]] is 5-6 mm. There are two to three generations per year.

The larvae feed on ''[[Pyrus amygdaliformis]]'', ''[[Pyrus communis]]'', ''[[Pyrus elaeagrifolia]]'' and ''[[Pyrus spinosa]]''. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a slightly contorted corridor, usually not forming a secondary blotch. The frass line is very narrow, especially in the first section of the mine.
