Catocala fulminea is a moth of the family Noctuoidea. It is found in Central Europe, Southern Europe, East Asia, and Siberia. The xarippe lineage has been proposed to be a distinct and valid species in its own right, instead of being only subspecifically distinct.

The wingspan is 44–52 mm. The larvae feed on Prunus, Crataegus, pears, and oaks.
