Amar Kumar Bauri (born 25 November 1978) is an Indian politician and the current leader of the opposition in Jharkhand Legislative Assembly.

He is member of Jharkhand legislative assembly from Chandankiyari constituency which is reserved for scheduled castes in Bokaro District.

In the 2009 Assembly election, he had contested on the JVM (P)’s ticket from Chandankiyari, but had lost to Umakant Rajak of AJSU by a margin of 3517 votes.

He took some significant decisions such as building the Patratu Valley road and launching several religious tourism festivals.

He had digitized a part of the land records and also started the popular Re 1 charge on properties registered in the name of women members in 2017 in a bid to empower them within their households – a scheme which was scrapped by the current JMM-led government headed by CM Hemant Soren in 2020.
