Polygrammate is a monotypic genus of moths in the family Noctuidae. Its only species, Polygrammate hebraeicum, the Hebrew moth or Hebrew, is found in the eastern parts of North America, from Ontario, south to Florida and as far west as Texas. Both the genus and the species were first described by Jacob Hübner in 1818.
