Stigmella pretiosa is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is found from Fennoscandia to the Alps, and from Scotland to the Baltic region and Slovakia.

The wingspan is 5.5-6.5 mm. There is one generation per year.

The larvae feed on Geum montanum , Geum rivale , Geum urbanum , Rubus caesius , Rubus fruticosus , Rubus idaeus and Rubus macrophyllus . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a long corridor. It runs along the vein. In the first part the frass is concentrated in a rather narrow, often interrupted central line.
