Stenotus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.

There are four species, all native to western North America.

The stems and foliage are hairless to quite woolly, and nonglandular to glandular-hairy.

The leaf blades are linear to widely lance-shaped, white near the bases and green or grayish toward the tips.

[5] Several species one included in Stenotus are now considered to belong to other genera, including Ericameria, Erigeron, Nestotus, Oonopsis, Tonestus, and Townsendia.
