Oreta eminens is a species of moth of the Drepanidae family. It is found in Myanmar, China (Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Guangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan), Korea and Japan.

The length of the forewings is 19–22 mm. It is easily distinguished from its close relatives Oreta sanguinea and Oreta liensis, by the mottled yellow and brown colour-pattern, the more elongate forewing apex and by the presence of a dark patch at the anal angle of the hindwings.
