Eupithecia niveifascia is a moth in the family Geometridae first described by George Duryea Hulst in 1898. It is found in North America from south-western Alberta west to Vancouver Island, north to northern coastal British Columbia and south to New Mexico.[3]

The wingspan is 17–19 mm. The forewings are pale cream with darker yellow-brown and light grey parallel crosslines. The hindwings are white or cream with yellow-brown markings on the lower half and with dark discal bars.[4] Adults have been recorded on wing from the end of May to mid-July.
