Graphania scutata is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1929 from a specimen collected by George Vernon Hudson in winter in Wellington. It is endemic to New Zealand. In 2019 Robert J. B. Hoare published a paper in which he undertook a major review of New Zealand noctuids. Hoare, having inspected the holotype specimen of this species, placed it within the genus Ichneutica.
