Bedellia boehmeriella is a moth of the family Bedelliidae. It was first described by Otto Swezey in 1912. It is endemic to the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

The larvae feed on Boehmeria grandis . They mine the leaves of their host plant. Full-grown larvae are about 6 mm long. When full grown the larva emerges from the leaf and pupates on the underside of the leaf beside a rib after having spun a few fibers of silk in which to fasten itself. The pupa is about 4.5 mm long. The pupal period lasts about 9 days.
