Stenoma ovatella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas) and Colombia.^[1]

Adults are very pale ochraceous, with the forewings rounded at the tips, and with a short longitudinal ferruginous streak in the disc before the middle, and with an oblique irregular interrupted ferruginous line, which extends to the costa beyond the middle. There is a submarginal line like the preceding one but less distinct and the costa is very slightly convex, while the exterior border is convex, but not oblique. The hindwings are cinereous brown.^[2]
