Amir ( _he. עמיר) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located in the Finger of the Galilee near Kiryat Shmona, it falls under the jurisdiction of Upper Galilee Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 545.

The village was established on 29 October 1939 on land, stolen from the Arab village of Khiyam al-Walid, and was the last of the tower and stockade settlements. Its founders were immigrants from Lithuania and Poland. Due to its location, the kibbutz was affected by floods every winter, and in 1942 was moved to its present location on land bought from another Arab village, al-Dawwara.
