Lacinipolia vicina is a moth in the family Noctuidae. It is found in Massachusetts , New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, New Jersey and possibly Indiana .

The length of the forewings is 14–16 mm. The forewings are mottled medium-dark grey. The hindwings are pearly white in males and pearly light grey in females, with a dark grey marginal band that is thin in males (but wider along the veins) and wider in females.[1] Adults have been recorded on wing from April to May and September to October in two generations per year.

The larvae are probably polyphagous ground dwellers.[2]
