Crambidia pallida, the pale lichen moth, is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Packard in 1864. It is found from Nova Scotia to Florida, west to Texas and north to North Dakota and Manitoba. The habitat consists of forests and woodlands.

The wingspan is 19–25 mm. The forewings are light to medium yellowish-brown or greyish with slightly paler veins. The hindwings are paler and unmarked. Adults are on wing from May to September. There are two generations per year.

The larvae feed on lichens, preferring lichens that grow on tree bark.[2]
