The Tim Amann Quartet, established in 1995, is a jazz band based in the West Midlands county of the UK. The band is led by Tim Amann, after whom the band is named.

Tim Amann is a well-renowned British jazz musician. He began playing jazz at the age of fifteen, and was a regular player at The Cannonball in Digbeth. Between 1992 and 1994 he led a successful quartet with saxophonist "Ian Ellis".
