Cechenena scotti is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from India , Nepal and Vietnam.

It is similar to Cechenena lineosa, but there is pink dorsal scaling on the antenna and there is an olive-green band running along the costa that contrasts strongly with the almost white ground colour of the remainder of the wing, which is flushed pink basally.
