Ammeris (Ancient Greek: ) was a governor of Sais attributed to the so-called "Proto-Saite Dynasty" of ancient Egypt.

==Biography== His name is only attested on Eusebius' epitome of Manetho's Aegyptiaca. Eusebius gave him 12 or 18 years depending on the versions, and calls him Ammeris (or Ameres) "the Nubian", placing him as the first king of the 26th Dynasty.
