Caberini is a tribe of geometrid moths in the family Geometridae. There are at least 50 described species in Caberini.
Taxonomic note: Molecular analyses by Sihvonen et al. (2011) supports separating the tribe Baptini from the Caberini. Research by Pitkin (2002) supports the view that Caberini and Baptini should be united, but notes that further study of immature stages is needed.
