Abrostola asclepiadis is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found in South and Central Europe as far north as Finland and Sweden, Asia Minor and the Caucasus.

The wingspan is 30-40 mm. Adults are on wing from June to August depending on the location.

The larvae feed on Vincetoxicum hirundinaria, which contains toxic alkaloids and is unpalatable to most generalist herbivores.
