Amy Pleasant (born 1972) is an American painter living and working in Birmingham, AL. She is the co-founder of The Fuel and Lumber Company, a curatorial initiative.

Pleasant is best known for her figurative, free associative paintings and drawings that explore simple, daily acts in slowly unfolding narratives.

In an article from Art in America, Max Henry wrote that her work "chronicles everyday life…full of existential angst and loneliness, her paintings are able to evoke an empathetic response from the viewer.
