Hypocala violacea is a species of moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found in the Indo-Australian tropics.
The adult forewings are a uniform rufous and violet brown, marks on the distal margin being reduced to a pair of dots at the tornus, the inner one white, the outer one black, ringed white, an enlarged member of the marginal row of white dots. The hindwing underside is broadly fawn over the anterior half, with darker striae.
The larvae feed on Diospyros species.
