Stigmella aurella is a moth of the family Nepticulidae found in Africa, Asia and Europe.

Forewings shining copper gold ; a shining pale golden fascia beyond middle, preceded by a purplish or dark purple-fuscous fascia, apical area beyond this dark purple to fuscous.

[6][7] It is found in Europe from Ireland to Ukraine, the Near East, and the eastern part of the Palearctic realm.

The genus Stigmella was erected by the German priest, botanist and entomologist, Franz von Paula Schrank in 1802.

The specific name aurella, comes from aurum referring to gold; from the golden, metallic fascia on the forewing.
