Dysphania is a genus of colourful moths in the family Geometridae. With a typical wingspan of 5–8.5 centimetres (2.0–3.3 in), they are relatively large compared to most members of this family. Most Dysphania are day flying, but there are also nocturnal species. They are found in northeast Australia, Melanesia, and south, east and southeast Asia.
