Cerconota congressella is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas), Guyana and Bolivia.

The wingspan is about 14-17 mm. The forewings are pale glossy greyish-ochreous with the costa suffused grey on the basal fourth and with a dark grey dot near the base in the middle. The stigmata are small, dark grey, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. There is an oblique grey mark on the middle of the costa and a rather strongly curved series of blackish dots from the costa at three-fourths to the tornus, slightly sinuate towards the costa and below the middle. There is a marginal series of blackish dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are grey.
