Amy Chow is a gymnast who has competed for the United States. She competed at the 1996 and 2000 Summer Olympic Games. She is more notable for the American women's first gold-medal triumph in the team all-around routine as a member of the Magnificent Seven. She is also the first Asian-American woman to win an Olympic gymnastics medal.

When the United States hosted the 1996 Summer Olympics, Chow and her American teammates, notably billed as the Magnificent Seven captured their historic first gold medal in the team all-around with a combined score of 389.225. She also performed a more difficult routine on the uneven bars with an almost perfect dismount, edging out the experienced Dominique Dawes to tie for a silver with the Chinese challenger Bi Wenjing.

Four years later in Sydney, Chow and the experienced Dawes returned to the Games with the fledgling U.S. women's gymnastics team. Neither of them managed to mount the podium in any of their events, and the U.S. women's team narrowly missed a medal by more than a point behind their Chinese rivals. A decade after the Games, Chow, Dawes, and her teammates Jamie Dantzscher, Kristen Maloney, Elise Ray, and Tasha Schwikert upgraded their original position to bronze, when they discovered that the Chinese team's results were nullified for falsifying the age of the gymnasts.
