Sabera fuliginosa, the white-fringed swift, is a butterfly of the Hesperiidae family. It is found in Australia along the north-east coast of Queensland, as well as in Papua, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea.

The wingspan is about 40 mm.

The larvae feed on Calamus moti. During the day they hide in a shelter created by folding over the edge of a leaf of their host plant and joining it with silk.
