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

The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are light violet-purplish brown with four or five grey dots or transverse marks towards the costa on the second fourth. The plical and second discal stigmata are minute and dark grey, with a slender deep ferruginous streak along the costa on the posterior half and a strongly curved series of minute dark grey dots from towards the costa in the middle to near the termen and then to the tornus. The hindwings are blackish grey.
