Stenoma scitiorella is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walker in 1864. It is found in Panama, Brazil (Amazonas) and Guyana.

The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are glossy violet grey with the costa more or less broadly suffused with white from the base to the middle and with a rather oblique hardly curved somewhat irregular white line from the middle of the costa to two-thirds of the dorsum, rather suffused anteriorly, edged with dark fuscous posteriorly. The wing beyond this is glossy dark slaty grey, with the costal edge and a streak around the termen white. There are some marginal dark fuscous dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are grey.
