Ethmia caradjae is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Hans Rebel in 1907.[1] It is found in Asia Minor (Taurus Mountains), Iraq, Kurdistan and south-western Iran.[2]

The wingspan is about 24 mm (0.94 in). The forewings are glossy grey-brown with four black dots on the cell in two oblique parallel pairs. The hindwings are lightly scaled and transparent except near the termen, where the grey-brown scales are thicker.[3]
