Hirtodrosophila confusa is a widespread, but rare European species of fruit fly from the family Drosophilidae.

[4] Relatively large species (for Drosophilidae), wing length about 3.5 mm (0.14 in), generally yellowish body with some variable brown triangular marking on the dorsal surface of the abdomen, wings yellowish.

[4][5] Widespread in most of the Palaearctic though rare in northern parts,[5] absent from Great Britain.

Specimens have been reared from fungi,[5] which is suspected to the preferred larval food.
