Agrius cordiae is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from the Marshall Islands.

The length of the forewings is 36 mm for males and 37 mm for females. It is similar to Agrius convolvuli but smaller, darker and with a more complete pattern of transverse lines and bands on the forewing upperside. The sexual dimorphism is much less developed (females are only slightly paler than males). There is a pair of pink subdorsal patches found on the upperside of the abdomen.
