Stigmella perpygmaeella is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found in most of Europe, east to Russia.

The wingspan is 5–6 mm. Adults are on wing from April to May and again from June to August.

The larvae feed on Crataegus laevigata and Crataegus monogyna. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a corridor that quickly widens into a secondary blotch. The mine is constrained between two veins or, less frequently, a lateral vein and the leaf margin.
