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