Scopula limboundata, the large lace-border, is a moth of the family Geometridae. It was described by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1809. It is found in North America east of the Rocky Mountains. There is a single and unconfirmed record from Great Britain.

The larvae feed on apple, blueberry, clover, dandelion, meadow-beauty, and black cherry.
