William Michael Amos (12 August 1932 – 14 April 2003) was a New Zealand swimmer.
Born in the Auckland suburb of Ponsonby on 12 August 1932, Amos was the son of Arthur Malcolm Amos and Kathleen Mary Amos (née Booth).
He was educated at Takapuna Grammar School.
He had 3 daughters by the name of Lynda, Joanne and Christine.
A member of the North Shore Swimming Club, Amos came to national attention in September 1946, when he broke the New Zealand junior boys' record for the 440 yards freestyle by 14.8 seconds, recording a time of 5:32.2.
A week later, he broke the national junior 220 yards freestyle record at the Tepid Baths in Auckland, with a time of 2:36.1, surpassing the previous record by 0.4 seconds.
