Cerconota obsordescens is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Brazil (Para).

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are pale greyish-ochreous with the costa slenderly whitish-ochreous from the base to the apex and finely continued around the termen, the edged beneath slenderly with rather dark grey suffusion, beneath this some broader whitish-ochreous suffusion towards the base. The dorsal area is broadly suffused pale ochreous-yellowish and there is a triangular reddish-fuscous spot on the dorsum before the middle and a greyish mark on the transverse vein. The hindwings are light grey.
