Amnesty International (AI) ialah sebuah badan pertubuhan bukan kerajaan sekular antarabangsa yang ditubuhkan dengan tujuan untuk mempromosikan seluruh hak asasi manusia yang terdapat dalam Perisytiharan Hak Asasi Manusia Sejagat dan piawai antarabangsa yang lain.

Pertubuhan ini diasaskan pada tahun 1961 oleh seorang peguam England bernama Peter Benenson, Amnesty International berasaskan kempen tawanan hati nurani (prisoner of conscience) untuk memastikan keadilan dunia dapat dikecapi selain mengadakan persidangan untuk tawanan politik; untuk menghapuskan hukuman mati, penyeksaan, dan perlakuan buli terhadap tahanan yang lain yang turut dianggapnya sebagai kejam; untuk menghilangkan pembunuhan politik dan kehilangan paksa; dan untuk menentang segala pelanggaran seluruh hak asasi manusia, baik oleh pemerintah atau oleh kumpulan yang lain.
