The Laysan noctuid moth (Agrotis laysanensis) was a species of moth in the Noctuidae family. This species is now extinct.
It was endemic to Laysan, in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
This moth was one, if not the main species, eaten by the likewise extinct Laysan millerbird. Agrotis moths are commonly known as "millers", and the bird was named after its favorite food.
