Amay (French pronunciation: ​[amɛ]; Walloon: Ama) is a municipality of Wallonia located in the province of liège, Belgium. 
On 1 January 2006 Amay had a total population of approximately 14,231. The total area is 27.61 km2 which gives a population density of approximately 476 inhabitants per km2. It owes its site to a ford of the Meuse that was still in use in the Middle Ages but had begun as a Gallo-Roman vicus of the civitas Tungrorum (Tongeren).
The municipality consists of the following districts: Amay, Ampsin, Flône, Jehay, and Ombret-Rawsa.


The town is situated on the left bank of the Meuse, opposite Tongeren. It is in a region called Hesbaye (Dutch: "Haspengouw"), which was subject to flooding from the river until a series of flood protection works were carried out in 1775–1780. The main monument protected by these works, however, is that of Saint Servatius in Maastricht; Amay's church was saved by its elevation and location on an island within the old city walls.
