Pseudacraea deludens is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia. The habitat consists of montane forests.
In flight, the nominate subspecies is almost impossible to distinguish from its model, Amauris echeria. Subspecies morogoro mimics Amauris echeria serica, subspecies tanganyikae mimics Amauris echeria terrena and subspecies reducta mimics Amauris albimaculata hanningtoni
The larvae feed on Chrysophyllum gorungosanum.
