The Amite River is a tributary of Lake Maurepas in Mississippi and Louisiana in the United States. It is about {{convert|117|mi}} long.[1] It starts as two forks in southwestern Mississippi and flows south through Louisiana, passing Greater Baton Rouge, to Lake Maurepas. The lower {{convert|37|mi|km|1}} of the river is navigable. A portion of the river is diverted via the Petite Amite River and Amite Diversion Canal to the Blind River, which also flows to Lake Maurepas.
