Prorella leucata is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found from California through Colorado, Maine, Montana, Oregon and Utah to British Columbia.

The wingspan is about 20 mm.[3] The wings are pale creamy, blotched with blackish along the costa. Of these patches, a rectangular, pre-apical one and a median one just interior to the discal spot are the most prominent.[4] Adults are on wing from June to September.
