Amer Delić (born June 30, 1982 in Tuzla, Bosnia-Herzegovina, SFR of Yugoslavia) is an American professional tennis player.

Delić was born in Tuzla located in the northeastern part of Bosnia-Herzegovina, at the time part of former Yugoslavia.

In early 1992 the Delić family, with Amer age 9 at the time, fled the city and the country due to war. After moving a lot for a few years across Europe, the Delić family settled in the United States in the mid 1990s.

Delić played collegiate tennis at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. At Illinois he won both the NCAA Division I singles championship and team championship in 2003.

In grand slams, Delic's best performance has been reaching the second round in the 2004 US Open and 2006 Australian Open. In the 2005 U.S. Open Delic partnered fellow American Jeff Morrison and reached the doubles third round, upsetting the team of Leander Paes and Nenad Zimonjic in the first round.

Currently, Amer Delić trains in Jacksonville, Florida where he resides when not on tour.
