Batocera lineolata, commonly known as the white-striped longhorned beetle, is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat in 1852. It is found in China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Myanmar and India. It is a forestry pest whose adults and larvae bore into tree bark, damaging vascular tissues and sometimes causing affected trees to wilt or die.
