Ardozyga amphiplaca is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1932. It is found in New Guinea.

The wingspan is 11–12 mm. The forewings are dark grey with a light ochreous-yellow basal patch extending on the costa to one-fourth and on the dorsum to near the middle, the edge slightly convex, and with a small dark grey mark on the costa near the base. There is a broad light ochreous-yellow fascia crossing the wing near and parallel to the termen, the anterior edge rather convex in the disc, the posterior irregular. The hindwings are grey, somewhat darker posteriorly.
