Oreta singapura is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Charles Swinhoe in 1892 and is found in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia (Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, Seram) and New Guinea.

Adults are pale brown (fawn). The forewings have a few brown speckles and some pure white scales near the end of the cell. A brown straight line runs across both wings from the tip of the forewings to the inner hindwing margin about one third from the base. Outside this line the forewings are lighter with white scales, and near the hind margin of the forewings there is a blackish spot with some white scales. The space outside the diagonal line is darker, and the hindwings have a whitish patch near the base of the leading edge.
