Caradrina germainii is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It was described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1835. It is found in south-western Europe (including Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily and Malta) and North Africa (Morocco, Algeria).[2] It is found mostly in garigue habitats.

Adults have been recorded on wing from June to July and again from September to October. The larvae feed on various low-growing plants.[3]
