Resapamea innota is a moth in the family Noctuidae. It is found in eastern Washington and Oregon, across central and southern Idaho and northern and eastern California.[2] The habitat consists of wet meadows at low or middle elevations.

The length of the forewings is 14–17 mm. There are two forms, one with red-brown forewings with a pale reniform spot and the other with gray and light tan forewings with lighter spots and a more complex pattern. Adults are on wing from mid June to July

The larvae probably bore into the stems and roots of herbaceous vegetation.
