Morris's Wainscot (Chortodes morrisii) is a moth of the family Noctuidae.
It is found in western and southern Europe. In Britain it is limited to Devon and Dorset, while the form bondii, previously occurring in Kent, is thought to be extinct.
The wingspan is 26–34 mm. The moth flies in June and July.
The larvae feed on stems of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea).
