Comadia redtenbacheri is a moth in the family Cossidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded in Mexico and southern Texas.
The moth was first named in 1848 by Austrian entomologist Carl Eduard Hammerschmidt (1800–1874) in honour of his colleague Ludwig Redtenbacher (1814–1876).
The length of the forewings is 12–14 mm for males and 13–16 mm for females. Adults have been recorded on wing from April to May and in September. The moth lays its eggs near the base of the Agave leaves.
