Ctenoplusia dorfmeisteri is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found in western, central and southern Africa, where it's known from Congo, Nigeria, Gabon, Ghana, South Africa, Mauritius, La Réunion and from Yemen.[1]

It has a wingspan of 30mm.[2]

The synonymation of Ctenoplusia rhodochrysa Joannis, 1906 (from La Réunion/Mauritius) is disputed and needs further examination.
