Stigmella stettinensis is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found in Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia.

It was considered a synonym of Stigmella minusculella, but was raised to species status by A & Z Lastuvka in 2004.

There are three generations per year in central Europe.

The larvae feed on Pyrus communis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a gradually widening corridor. The shape and length of the mine are strongly dependent on the thickness of the leaf.
