Tridrepana cervina is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Warren in 1922.[1] It is found in New Guinea.

The wingspan is about 44.4 mm. Adults are similar to the brown form of Tridrepana olivacea, but can be distinguished by the weakly marked colour pattern on the upperside of both wings and the almost obsolete subterminal line in the hindwings.[2]
