Bactra furfurana, the mottled marble,^[2] is a moth of the family Tortricidae described by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1811. It is found in the Nearctic^[3] and Palearctic ecozones.^[4]

The moth has a wingspan of 13–19 mm. Its habitat is damp marshy regions with adults flying in June and July. Adults are very similar to Bactra lancealana.^[5]

The larvae feed within the stems of various rushes, such as Schoenoplectus lacustris and Juncus conglomeratus, hollowing out the stem.
