Ectoedemia hexapetalae is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is found in France, Austria and Hungary.

The wingspan is 3.7-4.7 mm. Adults are on wing in May. There are probably two generations per year.

The larvae feed on Filipendula vulgaris . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a narrow corridor, often following the leaf margin. The first part is entirely filled with brown, dispersed frass. Later, the frass is black, dispersed, but leaving clear margins.
