Costoma cirrophaea is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1924. It is found in Bolivia.

The wingspan is 26–28 mm. The forewings are ashy-ochreous-grey with a narrow yellow basal fascia, edged posteriorly with ferruginous suffusion. From beyond this a rather broad light yellow costal stripe runs to near the apex and the dorsal and terminal edge are slenderly light yellow. The hindwings are yellow-whitish, suffused pale grey posteriorly.
