Amalie Zephyrine of Salm-Kyrburg (French: Amélie Zéphyrine de Salm-Kyrbourg; Paris, 6 March 1760 – Sigmaringen, 17 October 1841), was a German noblewoman by birth member of the House of Salm in the Salm-Kyrburg branch and through her marriage she was Princess of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.

Amalie was the daughter of Philip Joseph of Salm-Kyburg, first Prince of Salm-Kyburg, and his wife, Maria Theresa of Hornes, heiress to her father, Maximilian of Hornes. Amalie had nine siblings, including Prince Frederick III of Salm-Kyburg.

In 1782, she married Anton Aloys, Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, and they had one surviving child, Karl, who would go on to succeed his father as Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. Amalie spent little time in Sigmaringen, and she eventually became the lover of Alexandre de Beauharnais, a French revolutionary who was later executed during the September Massacres, and whose widow, Joséphine, later married Napoleon I.
