Stigmella clisiotophora is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is only known from the small island of Tsushima in Japan, but is probably also present in China.

Living larvae were collected in mid-October and adults emerged in June of the next year. There are at least two generations per year in southern Japan.

The larvae feed on Quercus variabilis . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine is similar to that of Stigmella fumida on the same host.
