'''''Archaeoattacus staudingeri''''' is a species of [[moth]] in the genus ''[[Archaeoattacus]]'' found on the [[Malay Peninsula]] and on [[Borneo]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Gakkai|first=Nihon Rinshi|title=Tyo to ga (Volume 51-53)|year=2000|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0wpOAAAAYAAJ&q=%22Archaeoattacus+staudingeri%22|accessdate=17 April 2012|page=84}}</ref> The species is a deeper, more purplish brown than ''[[Attacus atlas|A. atlas]]'', with a more angular forewing postmedial that is edged distad by grey patches in the spaces and concave distad anterior to the angle. The forewing apical markings are grey rather than pale brown or yellow.

Only two specimens have been taken in Borneo, both in lowland forest in Brunei.

There is no information on the life history but it is likely to be comparable to that of ''[[Archaeoattacus edwardsii]]''.
