Ambulyx tattina is a species of moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra, Java and the Philippines.

It can be distinguished from other Ambulyx species by the absence of subbasal dark patches on the forewing, and the division of the distal third sharply into pale anterior and dark posterior halves.[2]
