The Laysan noctuid moth (Agrotis laysanensis) is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae.

It is endemic to Laysan, in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.

This moth was one, if not the main species, eaten by the extinct Laysan millerbird. Agrotis moths are commonly known as "millers", and the bird was named after its favorite food.
