De keelamandelen of tonsillen (Tonsillae palatinae), meestal "de amandelen" genoemd, zijn twee amandelvormige organen, die achter in de keel gelegen zijn, direct aan het begin van de orofarynx. Ze zijn, tenzij verwijderd, achter in de mond zichtbaar links en rechts naast de tong en links en rechts van de huig, in de zogeheten amandelnissen, de kleine ruimtes tussen de twee tonsilbogen.
