Amphitorna excisa is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Warren in 1897. It is found in Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra.

The wingspan is about 26 mm. The forewings are rufous fawn, with a few brown striae. The lines are dark brown, the first from the costa shortly before the middle, acutely angled close to the costa, then oblique to near the base of the inner margin. The second from just beyond the middle, running obliquely outwards, with two bright brown velvety blotches on it, acutely angled outwards and incurved to near the middle of the inner margin. There is a minute white cell-dot. The hindwings have a whitish costal area and a fine slightly curved central brown line, with a dark brown cloud beyond it.
