Earophila badiata, the shoulder stripe, is a moth of the Geometridae family. It is found from most of Europe and North Africa to the Altai Mountains.

The wingspan is 25–30 mm. The ground colour of the relatively pointed forewings is brown. There is a yellow-brown to yellow-white band running over the forewings, three median cross lines and a cream yellow marginal streak. The hindwings are white with a dark fringe. Adults are variable in colour and size.

Adults are on wing from mid March to May in two generations.

The larvae feed on Rosa species. Larvae can be found from March to July. It overwinters as a pupa in loose soil.
