Abrostola ovalis, the oval abrostola, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Achille Guenée in 1852. It is found in north-eastern North America from southern Quebec and Maine south to North Carolina and west to Wisconsin.

The larvae feed on Urtica dioica and probably other nettle species.
