Waamori
Waamori (kwa Kisumeri 𒈥𒌅 MAR.TU; kwa Kiakadi Tidnum au Amurrūm; kwa Kimisri Amar; kwa Kiebrania אמורי ʼĔmōrī; kwa Kigiriki Ἀμορραῖοι) walikuwa watu wa jamii ya Wasemiti[1][2][3][4] kutoka Syria walioenea pia katika maeneo makubwa ya Mesopotamia kusini kuanzia karne ya 21 KK hadi mwisho wa karne ya 17 KK, wakianzisha idadi kadhaa ya miji-dola muhimu, hasa Babuloni.
Kisha kufukuzwa kutoka Mesopotamia, huko Syria walitawaliwa kwanza na Wahiti, halafu na Waashuru (tangu 1365).
Baada ya 1200 KK hawaonekani tena: inaonekana walimezwa na Wasemiti wengine, ambao kati yao walijitokea hasa Waaramu.

Katika Biblia Waamori ni wakazi wa milima ya Kaanani, ambao kadiri ya kitabu cha Mwanzo 10:16 wametokana na Kanaan, mwana wa Hamu na mjukuu wa Nuhu. Wanaonekana kama sehemu ya Wakaanani.
Wanatajwa kama watu warefu sana kama "mierezi" (Am 2:9) [5]. Mfalme wao Ogu anatajwa kama jitu la mwisho (Kumb 3:11).
