Amblycheila is a genus of flightless, nocturnal tiger beetles. There are eight species distributed across the southwestern United States and Mexico.
Amblycheila has been considered a member of the tribe Amblycheilini, but recent research places it in the tribe Manticorini. It is referred to variously as a member of either tribe.
