Eupithecia fletcherata, or Fletcher's larch looper, is a moth of the family Geometridae described by George Taylor in 1907. It is found in Canada (Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba) and the north-eastern parts of the United States (including Ohio and Missouri).[citation needed]

The species was named in honour of Dr. James Fletcher.[2]
