Elachista vonschantzi is a moth of the Elachistidae family that is found along the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia.

The wingspan is 8–10 millimetres (0.31–0.39 in). Adults are on wing from June to July.

The larvae feed on Calamagrostis stricta. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine descends from the leaf tip and occupies the entire width of the leaf. It reaches a length of 50–100 millimetres (2.0–3.9 in). Pupation takes place outside of the mine.
