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

The wingspan is 23–26 mm. The forewings are light grey, suffused dull bronzy purplish except towards the anterior three-fifths of the costa and along the termen, an oblique irregular bronzy-purplish shade from the costa at one-third. The costal edge is ochreous whitish, with two blackish areas on the posterior half and a linear mark before the apex. The second discal stigma forms an obscure darker purplish mark preceded by light greyish and there is a curved series of cloudy darker grey marks from the costa at four-fifths to the tornus sometimes perceptible. There is also an interrupted blackish terminal line. The hindwings are rather dark grey.
