  Cicindela amargosae, commonly known as the Great Basin tiger beetle, is a species of tiger beetle endemic to the Great Basin region of the western United States. It occurs in Oregon, Nevada, and California. The species contains two recognized subspecies: the nominate C. a. amargosae and C. a. nyensis. As with other tiger beetles, it is a predatory insect in the subfamily Cicindelinae, though specific behavioral and ecological details for this particular species remain poorly documented in the available literature.
