Jerome Anthony Ambro, Jr. (June 27, 1928 – March 4, 1993) was an American military veteran and politician who served three terms as a member of the United States House of Representatives for New York from 1975 to 1981.

During the Korean War, Ambro served in the United States Army as a member of the Military Police from 1951 to 1953 where he attained the rank of sergeant.

In 1970, Ambro challenged Basil Paterson for the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor of New York, but was defeated in the primary election.

Ambro played a major role in winning the preservation of wetlands in Massapequa, New York, and having Brookhaven National Laboratory designated as the site of a high-energy reactor.

In 1980, Ambro authored an amendment to the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act (Section 106(f)) to require that the disposal of dredged material into Long Island Sound from any federal project, or from any non-federal project exceeding 25,000 cubic yards (19,000 m³), comply with the environmental criteria for ocean dumping under the MPRSA, in addition to the requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
