Oreta trispina is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Watson in 1967. It is found in China (Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Sichuan).

The length of the forewings is 18.5–23.5 mm for males and 22.5–25 mm for females. The ground colour of the forewings is either entirely reddish brown, or reddish brown with a pale yellow band on the forewings and a broad, distal, pale yellow area on the hindwings. The wing markings are mostly dark brown or black, with a yellow distal edge to the oblique postmedial fascia on the forewings and a yellowish brown cell-patch on the forewings.
