The Brown Panopoda (Panopoda carneicosta) is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found from Ontario, Quebec and Maine, south to Florida, west to Texas, north to Wisconsin and Minnesota.

The wingspan is 38–46 mm. Reported flight periods vary. Covell gives a flight period of May to August, and Ohio State gives a flight period of April to September. They are most seen in June and July though. There is one generation per year in the north, possibly two in the south.

The larvae feed on the leaves of basswood, oak, hickory and willow.
