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

The wingspan is 22–23 mm. The forewings are whitish violet with the costal edge pale ochreous yellowish from the base to two-thirds, edged with greyish-violet suffusion beneath and with a fine greyish-violet straight shade from two-fifths of the costa to the middle of the dorsum, the plical stigma forming a faint spot on it. The second discal stigma is cloudy and violet grey. The hindwings are grey whitish strewn with violet-grey hairscales except towards the base.
