Amaea hedleyi is a species of predatory sea snails, marine prosobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Epitoniidae.
It shows thin, sharp, slightly raised ribs and rather thick transverse cords.
The protoconch is partially broken in the holotype but preserved in the juvenile specimen, showing 3 smooth whorls with an obtuse apex.
The base is barely convex, circumscribed by a distinct cord that defines a disc, across which the ribs extend to reach the columella.
The outer peristome is discontinuous and fairly thick, with barely a trace of auricles at both ends, the anterior part near the columella being slightly sloping.
