Acontia feae is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is known from Cape Verde and is found on the island of Brava, but is possibly also present on nearby Fogo. The species was described in 1937 by Emilio Berio and was named for Leonardo Fea who visited Cape Verde to describe the fauna of the archipelago in 1898. The species was discovered by Fea in September 1898 on the island of Brava.
