Calophasidia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1908.[1][2][3][4] It is endemic to Australia.[2]

The classification of this genus is unclear. It has been placed in the subfamily Hadeninae[1][4] or Acronictinae;[2][3] Keegan and colleagues (2021) considered its placement within Noctuidae as undefined (incertae sedis).[5]
