Harry B. Amey (December 21, 1868 – December 6, 1949) was a Vermont attorney and public official. He is notable for his service as state's attorney of Essex County, a member of the Vermont House of Representatives and Vermont Senate, and as United States Attorney for the District of Vermont from 1923 to 1932.

A native of Pittsburg, New Hampshire, Amey graduated from Dartmouth College in 1894, studied law with an attorney in Milton, New Hampshire, and attained admission to the bar in 1898. He relocated to the Brighton, Vermont, village of Island Pond in 1902, where he continued to practice law. A Republican, he served as Essex County State's Attorney (1904–1908, 1910–1912), member of the Vermont House from Brighton (1910–1912), and member of the State Senate from Essex County (1919–1923).

In 1923, Amey was appointed Vermont's U.S. Attorney, and he served until 1933. In 1934, he was an unsuccessful candidate for U.S. Senator, losing the Republican primary to incumbent Warren Austin. He died in Island Pond on December 6, 1949, and was buried at Indian Stream Cemetery in Pittsburg, New Hampshire.
