Ameba (Amoeba, dal greco antico ἀμοιβή, "cambio, trasformazione") è il nome comune di un genere di protisti, oggi generalmente raggruppati nel clade degli amebozoi.Nelle classificazioni precedenti viene considerato un genere di protozoi appartenenti alla classe dei rizopodi. La specie più nota è Amoeba proteus. Una caratteristica particolare di questi organismi unicellulari è di mutare continuamente forma a causa del loro citoplasma privo di scheletro. Queste estroflessioni della membrana permettono alla cellula di strisciare sul substrato.
