Stenoma dispilella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1866.[1] It is found in Colombia.

The wingspan is 29–30 mm.[2] Adults are very pale fawn colour above and pale ochraceous cinereous beneath. The forewings are rectangular at the tips. There are five black points on the antemedial disc and a blackish brown pear-shaped pale-bordered spot in the disc beyond the middle. There is a more exterior large spot, which is slightly paler than the ground hue and is bordered on the outer side by a pale brown blackish pointed line. The marginal points are black and the exterior border is slightly rounded and oblique. The hindwings are whitish cinereous.[3]
