Hyalobathra unicolor, the Cotton Web Spinner, is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Warren in 1895. It is found in coastal north-eastern Australia, including Queensland.

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are fawn with faint dark zig-zag lines and narrow black margins.

They live in groups in a silken shelter, made amongst the leaves of the host plant. The larvae have a brown body and a brown head with rusty markings. It grows to a length of about 20 mm. Pupation takes place in the shelter.
