Elachista imatrella is a moth of the family Elachistidae which is endemic to Finland.
The length of the forewings is 3.2–3.7 millimetres (0.13–0.15 in) for males and 3.4 millimetres (0.13 in) for females.[2]
The larvae possibly feed on Carex species, probably Carex vaginata. They mine the leaves of their host plant.
