Enoplidia stenomorpha is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1946.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[2]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous with fuscous markings. The first discal spot is found at one-third, the plical slightly beyond it, both minute and the second larger dorsal is found before two-thirds. There is a slender gently curved line from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus. The hindwings are pale grey.[3]
