Sphinx maurorum, known as the southern pine hawkmoth, is a moth of the family Sphingidae, the hawkmoths. It was first described by Karl Jordan in 1931. The species is found on the Iberian Peninsula and in southern and central France, ranging north as far as Corrèze and south to the Atlas and Rif mountains of North Africa, with further records from Corsica. Its wingspan is 70 to 80 millimetres. Adults usually fly in a single generation from mid-July to early August, although in some years they are on the wing from May to June and again in August. The larvae feed on pines, especially Pinus halepensis and Pinus pinaster, and on cedar (Cedrus) species.
