Noctueliopsis puertalis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Barnes and McDunnough in 1912. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Arizona, California and Texas.

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous, heavily shaded with brown, especially in the basal and terminal areas, leaving the median space as a broad paler band across the wings. There are faint traces of a dark basal line. The hindwings are smoky brown. Adults have been recorded on wing from March to May and from August to September.
