Amanda R. Hendrix (May 21, 1968) is an American planetary scientist known for her pioneering studies of solar system bodies at ultraviolet wavelengths.

Her research interests include moon and asteroid surface composition, space weathering effects and radiation products.

[14] Before moving to PSI, Hendrix worked for 12 years at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the Comets, Asteroids and Satellites Group.

[20] She was named a Fellow of the American Astronomical Society in 2024, "for wide-ranging studies illuminating thermal, irradiative, and exogenic processing of various species on small body surfaces in the solar system; management of complex autonomous science systems; and devoted service to the planetary and space science communities".

She spoke at the Griffith Observatory's Cassini Program in 2009[30] and has written for the Planetary Report[31] Hendrix has taught undergraduate and graduate level courses at Cal Poly, Pomona, Mt.
