Stenoma sommerella is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1877. It is found in Central America and Brazil.

The wingspan is 17–21 mm. The forewings are lilac whitish, sometimes partially irrorated pale greyish and with three ill-defined irregular rather oblique-transverse somewhat curved brown lines rising from irregular triangular blackish-grey spots beneath the yellowish-white costal edge. There is a dark grey marginal line or series of blackish-grey dots around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are whitish.
