Amane Gobena Gemeda[nb] (born 11 September 1982)[1] is an Ethiopian long-distance runner who competes primarily in road running events.

[2] She competed in track races in Europe in the 2003–2004 and among her performances was a 5000 metres personal best of 15:19.50, set at the Grand Prix Regione Lombardia in 2004 where she finished fourth.

[5] She also ran at the Golden Spike Ostrava meeting in June and placed fifth over 5000 m.[6] After taking time out from athletics in 2006, she returned to focus on road races and enjoyed podium finishes in the United States.

She was runner-up at the Peachtree 10K and Bolder Boulder races,[1] as well as the Cooper River Bridge Run, where she was beaten by her compatriot Rehima Kedir but set a personal best of 32:12 for the 10K.

[13] She competed extensively in the United States that summer, starting with wins at the Cooper River Bridge Run and Monument Avenue 10K.

She duelled against Mulu Seboka, another Ethiopian runner and the defending champion, in the earlier stages but then pulled away around the 40 km to earn her first win over the distance, breaking the course record with a run of 2:28:30 in the process.

[15][16] She soon returned to the starting line in 2010 and improved her best mark en route to winning the Osaka Ladies Marathon in January, becoming the first Ethiopian ever to do so in almost thirty years of competition.

[18] She continued her Asian tour at the Seoul International Marathon and took her second victory of the year, outpacing Zhou Chunxiu and setting a career best of 2:24:13 for the distance.
