Ammatho is a genus in the moth family Erebidae. There are about 15 described species in Ammatho, found in South and Southeast Asia.
Ammatho formerly consisted of more than 75 species in 8 subgenera, but as a result of molecular phylogenetic research, most of the subgenera were elevated to genus rank and all but 15 of the species were moved the new genera.
This genus was first described by Francis Walker in 1855.
