Theretra lycetus is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from south-east Asia, including Malaysia, Thailand, India and Indonesia.

The abdomen upperside has pale longitudinal double lines, which become indistinct posteriorly. The forewing upperside is similar to Theretra japonica, but the contrast between the darker postmedian lines and intervening pale bands is stronger. The hindwing upperside has a reddish median band of variable width.
