Lasionycta poca is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found throughout the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, westward to the Coast Range in western British Columbia and southward in the Cascades to Okanogan County, Washington.

It is predominantly alpine and is most common near timberline, but occasional specimens are collected in nearby forest.

The wingspan is about 27 mm. Adults are on wing from mid-June through August.
