Amelius Gentilianus (; ), was a Neoplatonist philosopher and writer of the second half of the 3rd century.
==Biography== Amelius was a native of Apamea or Tuscany. Originally a student of the works of Numenius of Apamea, he began attending the lectures of Plotinus in the third year after Plotinus came to Rome, and stayed with him for more than twenty years, until 269, when he retired to Apamea in Syria, the native place of Numenius. He is erroneously called Apameos by the Suda.
