Amanda Billings (born December 14, 1986 in Calgary, Alberta) is a Canadian figure skater, belonging to Canada's National Team. She had been expected to contend for the 2006 Winter Olympics, but an injury on December 21, 2005 prevented her doing so.

She currently trains at the Calalta club in Calgary, with coaches Scott Davis and Sharon Lariviere. She's an alum of Bishop Carroll High School, which is designed for students needing a flexible schedule, and includes a number of other top Canadian athletes.

In 2007, Billings took on the role of Gabriella in the east coast version of "Disney's High School Musical: The Ice Tour".
