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

The wingspan is 4.2-5.3 mm. 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. The mine consists of a narrow corridor with a broad frass line, running along a vein. Normally, the corridor runs along the midrib. It may also run along a lateral vein, in which case the direction usually is towards the midrib. The corridor widens into a blotch laying against the midrib. Pupation takes place outside of the mine.

The name honours the German entomologist Erich Martin Hering.
