Eudonia mawsoni is a species of moth of the family Crambidae. It is endemic to Macquarie Island. The wingspan is 21.2-26.7 mm for males and 18.6-24.8 mm for females.
The larvae and pupae have been collected mostly on mosses, but a few were collected on Colobanthus species. Whether these larvae were actually feeding on plants other than mosses is not known.
