Gelechia stenacma is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in central India.[1]

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are fuscous, speckled with minute black transverse strigulae. There are small obscure black costal spots towards the base, at one-third, and three-fifths, and two representing the discal stigmata. The hindwings are thinly scaled pale prismatic bluish-grey, the margins suffused darker grey.

The larvae feed on the leaves of Anogeissus latifolia.[2]
