Stenocybe tropica is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) pin lichen in the family Mycocaliciaceae.

Found in Brazil, it was formally described as a new species in 2015 by Dutch lichenologist André Aptroot.

The type specimen was collected in Praia de Peruíbe near Itanhaém; here it was found growing on mangrove tree bark.

The apothecia are black with a cylindrical to club-shaped head (capitulum) about 0.3 mm in diameter and up to 0.5 mm high.

Its ascospores are dark brown in colour, more or less fusiform (spindle-shaped) with 3 septa, measuring 46–71 by 14–21 μm with mostly pointed tips.
