Scoparia leuconota is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Lower in 1902. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia.

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are ashy-grey-whitish with blackish lines and a white, black-edged, roundish spot below the costa. Similar spots are found at the posterior extremity of the cell and there is a row of fine black dots along the termen. The hindwings are light fuscous, becoming darker along the terminal half. Adults have been recorded on wing in June.
