Abrostola ovalis, commonly known as the oval abrostola, is a moth species belonging to the family Noctuidae. It was first described by Achille Guenée in 1852. This moth is found in northeastern North America, ranging south from southern Quebec and Maine to North Carolina, and west to Wisconsin. The wingspan of Abrostola ovalis is approximately 30 mm. Adult moths are active from May to August each year. In the northern parts of its range, this species produces one generation per year.

The larvae of Abrostola ovalis feed on Urtica dioica, and likely feed on other nettle species as well.
