The Uraniinae or uraniine moths are a subfamily of moths in the family Uraniidae. It contains seven genera that occur in the tropics of the world.
Three of its genera (Alcides, Chrysiridia and Urania) are essentially diurnal, although some crepuscular activity has been recorded. They are blackish with markings in iridescent green or light blue; in some species with orange, gold or pink highlights. They are as brightly marked as the most colorful butterflies; indeed, they bear an uncanny resemblance in shape and coloration to some papilionid butterflies (swallowtails and relatives). They are also usually toxic, hence the bright warning colors. There are cases where harmless butterflies mimic these toxic moths, e.g. Papilio laglaizei and Alcides agathyrsus.
The remaining genera in the subfamily are far less colorful, overall gray-brown with a light band on each wing (Lyssa) or white with brownish markings (Cyphura, Urapteritra and Urapteroides), and mainly nocturnal or crepuscular. Despite their relatively dull colors, Lyssa are impressive because of their large size with a typical wingspan of . No other species in the subfamily has a wingspan that exceeds .
