Apantesis philipiana is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Douglas C. Ferguson in 1985. It is found in the far northwest of North America from Wrangel Island west to Mackenzie Delta in the Northwest Territories and south to Denali National Park in Alaska.

The length of the forewings is 17 mm. The forewings are black dorsally with yellowish-buff to pale whitish-buff lines and bands while the hindwings are bright orange. Adults have been recorded on wing from mid-to-late July.^[1]

This species was formerly a member of the genus Grammia, but was moved to Apantesis along with the other species of the genera Grammia, Holarctia, and Notarctia.^[2]^[3]
