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]
