The 2015 Amado checkpoint protest took place on May 27, 2015, when approximately seventy-five protesters held a demonstration at the United States Border Patrol checkpoint along Arivaca Road in Amado, Arizona, about 35 miles south of Tucson.

It is located in a rural area outside the town of Amado, on the main road to Arivaca, a small community near the international border.

The demonstrators cited privacy concerns, the nuisance of having to go through the checkpoint, and the potential for racial profiling as reasons for the protest, and want it removed.

In anticipation of the protest, 50 Border Patrol agents manned the checkpoint to help keep order.
