Amyda is a genus of softshell turtles in the family Trionychidae. It contains two extant species: Amyda cartilaginea - Asiatic softshell turtle Amyda ornata - Southeast Asian softshell turtle

Both species were formerly considered subspecies of a single species, Amyda cartilaginea, but phylogenetic evidence supports both being distinct from one another. An undescribed species is also known from Borneo.
