Cameraria hamameliella is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Ontario, Québec, and Nova Scotia in Canada and throughout the eastern United States.^[2]^[3]

The wingspan is about 7 mm.

The larvae feed on Hamamelis species, including Hamamelis virginiana. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a blotch mine on the upperside of the leaf. The mine is whitish and sometimes almost circular. The pupa of the summer brood is formed beneath a flat silken cocoon.

This species was first described in August Busck in 1903.^[3]
