Stigmella johanssonella is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found from Austria and Bulgaria to Italy and Greece.[1]

The larvae feed on Ostrya carpinifolia. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a slender gallery with a broad central frass line. The last part of the corridor follows a side vein.[2]
