Anton-Wilhelm-Amo-Straße, or Anton-Wilhelm-Amo-Strasse (see ß), is a street in central Berlin. It runs from west to east between Wilhelmstraße and Hausvogteiplatz, and partially forms the southern edge of Gendarmenmarkt. The Berlin U-Bahn station Anton-Wilhelm-Amo-Straße is located at its western end, and is served by the U2. A number of buildings in the street date to the mid-19th century (Gründerzeit) or were reconstructed after World War II, and are protected historic buildings.

In August 2020, the borough assembly of Berlin-Mitte suggested that the borough authority rename the street from Mohrenstraße, honoring Anton Wilhelm Amo, the first African to receive a doctorate from a German university. On 23 August 2025, the street was officially renamed.
