Ami Boué (16 March 1794[1] – 21 November 1881) was a geologist of French Huguenot origin.

[2] Boué was born in Hamburg where his grandfather Jacques Chapeaurouge had settled in 1705 and established a shipping company which grew.

Here he came under the influence of Robert Jameson, whose teachings in geology and mineralogy inspired his future career.

Boué was thus led to make geological expeditions to various parts of Scotland and the Hebrides, and after taking his degree of M.D.

[10] Ami Boué Bluff on Graham Land in Antarctica and streets in Budapest, Varna, Vienna and Sofia are named after him.
