Eupithecia graefi, or Graef's pug, is a moth in the family Geometridae. The species was first described by George Duryea Hulst in 1896. It is found in North America from south-western Alberta west to Vancouver Island, north to Alaska and south to California. The habitat consists of wooded areas.

The wingspan is 17–25 mm. [3] Adults are mostly on wing in summer, but have been recorded from April to November. [4]

The larvae feed on Arbutus and Gaylussacia species, and possibly also Thuja and Pseudotsuga species. The larvae are variable in colour, ranging from green to rosy pink and reddish pink. [5]
