Craniophora fasciata is a moth of the family Noctuidae first described by Frederic Moore in 1884.[1] It is found in Sri Lanka,[2] Japan,[3] Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Australia.

The adult has brown or grey wings. A broken dark band runs across its forewings. The caterpillar is greenish with a yellow stripe along each side. There are another two yellow stripes in the last body segment.[4] Larval food plants include Olea, Ligustrum vulgare and Osmanthus species.[5]
