Noordodes magnificalis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Rothschild in 1916. It is found in Indonesia where it has been recorded from Irian Jaya.[1]

The wingspan is 23–28 mm. The forewings are canary yellow, the costal area and terminal margin broadly steel purple. There is a steel purple median blotch from below the cell to the inner margin. The hindwings are buff, but the basal part of the lower half is canary yellow with two wide streaks and a narrow terminal edge of steel purple.[2]
