Ectoedemia hispanica is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is endemic to eastern and southern Spain.
The wingspan is 6.2-6.8 mm. Adults have been caught in July.
Unlike most other Nepticulidae species, the larvae mine the bark of their host, rather than the leaves. The hostplant is unknown, although the type location has Castanea species and Quercus suber present.
