Delias fasciata is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. It was described by Walter Rothschild in 1894. It is found in the Australasian realm.^[2] It is endemic to Sumba.

The wingspan is about 60–63 mm. Adults are similar to Delias periboea, but may be distinguished by having a more extended yellow area, and by having the black distal border unbroken.^[3]
