Amy Denio (b. June 9, 1961) is a Seattle (USA)-based multi-instrumental avant-garde jazz musician and composer. She is probably best known as an accordionist and saxophone-player. Among her current musical involvements are Kultur Shock (drawing heavily on Balkan music) and the all-female The Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet. She has also collaborated repeatedly with the Pat Graney Dance Company.

Her first recordings were in the early 1980s with the Entropics. Since then, she has performed with (among others) Francisco Lopez, Danny Barnes, the Tone Dogs, the aforementioned Billy Tiptons, Pale Nudes, Blowhole, the Danubians, Chris Cutler, Guy Klucevsek, Pauline Oliveros, Relâche, Curlew, Matt Cameron, Hoppy Kamiyama, Derek Bailey, and the Shaking Ray Levis.

During the 1980s, Denio had a day job at Muzak.
