Eumorpha drucei is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Ecuador.[2]

The length of the forewings is about 40 mm. The upperside of the body is similar to Eumorpha analis, but the ground colour is deeper olive green. There is a narrower pale dorsal line on the abdomen, as well as larger and darker patches. The hindwing upperside inner margin is pink with a black discal spot.

The larvae probably feed on grape or vine species.
