Elachista pomerana is a moth of the Elachistidae family. It is found from Fennoscandia to the Alps and from Great Britain to Romania.
The wingspan is 8-10 mm.
The larvae feed on Avena fatua, Calamagrostis epigejos, Glyceria fluitans, Phalaris arundinacea and Poa pratensis. The larvae create a mine which begins near the leaf tip and descends towards the base, occupying the entire width of the blade. The pupation takes place outside of the mine.
