Ectoedemia ruwenzoriensis is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is only known from the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda.[1]

It is possible that the larvae feed on Hypericum, because tree-forming Hypericum species occur commonly in the higher montane zones, such as the ericaceous belt or Hagenia-Hypericum zone.[1]
