Stenoma hesmarcha is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Pará, Brazil.

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are white with a ferruginous-ochreous spot towards the costa before the middle and some fuscous irroration towards the posterior half of the dorsum, as well as some blackish irroration in the disc beyond the middle, preceding a round pale ochreous blotch surrounded by fine blackish irroration except beneath. There is a marginal fascia of blackish irroration around the apical part of the costa and termen, tending to form small darker marginal spots around the apex, above the apex suffused ferruginous ochreous. The hindwings are light grey.
