Prince Amara (born 15 March 1973) is a Sierra Leonean sprinter. He competed in the men's 4 × 400 metres relay at the 1996 Summer Olympics.[1]
At the 1996 Olympics, Amara was selected to run the anchor leg on the Sierra Leonean team. They finished 8th in their heat and did not advance to the finals.[2]

After retirement, Amara went on to work for the Sierra Leone Amateur Athletic Association, greeting athletes at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.[4]
