Agnidra tigrina is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Hong-Fu Chu and Lin-Yao Wang in 1988.[1] It is found in Yunnan, China.

The length of the forewings is 17–19 mm. Adults are similar to Agnidra vinacea, but there are three arrow-shaped markings at the apex along both sides of the oblique postmedial line, as well as black lines on an orange ground colour.[2]
