Manduca stuarti is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from Bolivia.[2]

It can be distinguished from all other Manduca species by the pattern and structure. There is no lateral, yellow patch found on the abdomen underside, but there are intensely coloured patches present on the more distal segments.

Adults have been recorded from October to December.
