Amorbimorpha mackayiana is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in the United States in western Texas and possibly northern Mexico.

The length of the forewings is 9.7–12.8 mm for males and 11.8–13.4 mm for females. The ground color of the forewings is brownish orange. The hindwings are shining ivory white, gradually yellowing toward the distal regions. Adults have been recorded on wing from late March to early June and again in mid-September, probably in two or more generations per year.

Etymology

The species is names in honor of Margaret MacKay, a tortricid systematist and collector of the first known specimens of the species.
