Eucarta amethystina is a moth in the Noctuidae family. It is found in central Europe, east to Belarus, through the Ural to the Pacific Ocean.

The wingspan is 28–34 mm. The ground colour of the forewings varies from rosy grey to rosy brown, with an amethyst-coloured hue. The markings are dark brown with a whitish border. The hindwings are uniform light grey-brown. Adults are on wing from June to August.

The larvae feed on Apiaceae species, including Laser trilobum, Silaum silaus, Peucedanum officinale and Daucus carota. Full-grown larvae are green. The species overwinters in the pupal stage.
