Nephele comoroana is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from the Comoro Islands.
The wingspan is 50–70 mm for males and 74–78 mm for females. It is similar to Nephele accentifera and Nephele densoi but smaller. The forewing upperside is more uniformly brown. The entire antemedian and median area are uniform brown, except for the silver discal spot and a light brown semi-lunar area on the costa. The postmedian band is rosy beige-grey, extending evenly from the costa to the inner margin.
