Synopsia sociaria is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. It is found from the southern part of central Europe to western Central Asia. In the north, the range extends from the North Sea coast to the Baltic region and Russia. In the Caucasus, subspecies S. sociaria unitaria is found.

In the southern part of the range, adults are on wing from the end of March to the beginning of June and again from the beginning of July to the beginning of October in two generations per year.
