Ectoedemia heringi is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is found from southern Great Britain and Ireland to Poland and further east to central Russia.

The wingspan is 4.2-5.3 mm. [1] Differentiated from the slightly smaller Ectoedemia subbimaculella by the darker head and the ductus spermathecae in the female. [2] [3]

Adults are on wing in May in the south and in June and July more in the north. There is one generation per year.

The larvae feed on Castanea sativa , Quercus faginea , Quercus macrolepis , Quercus petraea , Quercus pubescens and Quercus robur . They mine the leaves of their host plant. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.

The name honours the German entomologist Erich Martin Hering.
