Ironopolia ebenosticta is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Turner in 1946. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are whitish-grey with blackish dots and a few scattered scales. The first discal spot is found at one-fourth, the plical beyond it and the second discal at the middle. There is a dot on three-fourths of the dorsum and the second discal is connected by a line of dots with one-third of the costa, and by another line with three-fourths of the dorsum. There is also a fine partly interrupted line from two-thirds of the costa to the tornus, indented beneath the costa and in the middle and there is a terminal series of dots. The hindwings are grey.
