Stenoma cycnographa is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found in ParĂ¡, Brazil.

The wingspan is 20-23 mm. The forewings are ochreous white with the plical and first discal stigmata minute and dark fuscous, the plical very obliquely posterior, the second discal forming a dark fuscous transverse mark followed by a spot of fuscous suffusion. There is some slight fuscous irroration above the middle of the dorsum and a spot of dark fuscous suffusion above the dorsum near the tornus. A rather curved line formed of fuscous lunulate marks is found from the costa at four-fifths, to the tornus, indented towards the costa. There is also a terminal series of small black dots. The hindwings are white.
