August Karl Eduard Kiss (born October 11, 1802 in Paprotzan, Prussia - today: Paprocany, part of Tychy, Poland - died March 24, 1865 in Berlin, Germany) was a German sculptor.

Kiss studied at the Berlin Academy under Christian Rauch, Tieck and Schinkel. His work was mostly executed in the Neo-Classical style and consisted largely of portraits and mythological and allegorical subjects.

In 1889 the Fairmont Park Art Association obtained a plaster of one of Kiss' best known works, The Amazon and in 1929 the work was cast in bronze and now stands in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
