Abaca bract mosaic virus (ABrMV) is a plant pathogenic virus. It is transmitted by Pentalonia nigronervosa, Aphis gossypii, and Rhopalosiphum maidis.{{cite book |last1=Goltenboth |first1=Friedhel |last2=Muhlbauer |first2=Werner |title=Industrial Applications of Natural Fibres Structure, Properties and Technical Applications |date=April 15, 2010 |isbn=9780470660348 |page=170 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rX8S2PE71HkC&dq=%22Abaca+bract+mosaic+virus%22&pg=PA163 |access-date=16 August 2024 |language=en |chapter=7|publisher=John Wiley & Sons }} The taxonomy is unknown, but it is thought to be a type of Potyvirus.

Attempts have been made to sequence ABrMV.{{Cite web |url=http://www.nimbb.upd.edu.ph/?page_id=103 |title=Plant Molecular Biology and Plant Virology |access-date=2012-09-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111102160754/http://www.nimbb.upd.edu.ph/?page_id=103 |archive-date=2011-11-02 |url-status=dead }}

The virus is said to be a significant pathogen of the abaca, along with the Abaca bunchy top virus.

Banana bract mosaic virus also infects the abaca,{{cite journal |last1=Galvez |first1=L. C. |last2=Koh |first2=R. B. L. |last3=Barbosa |first3=C. F. C. |last4=Aquino |first4=V.
