Eupithecia propagata is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in India, Nepal,[3] Bhutan and China.[2] It is on wing from late July to late October.[2]

Adults have rusty brown forewings with a number of black and white markings, and off-white hindwings with a dark streak along the posterior edge and corner. It is smaller and darker than Eupithecia refertissima, which it otherwise resembles in outward appearance.[2]
