Eupselia beatella is a species of the family Depressariidae that occurs in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.

The forewings are striped black and grey and covered in white dots, except for a black semicircular area on the inner margin, and a large round black subterminal blotch.

The larvae are thought to feed on the foliage of Eucalyptus species.[2]
