Princess Amalie of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Marie Luise Franziska Amalie; 23 October 1848 – 6 May 1894) was a Princess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha by birth and a Duchess in Bavaria through her marriage to Duke Maximilian Emanuel in Bavaria.

Amalie was the fourth child and second eldest daughter of Prince August of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and his wife Princess Clémentine of Orléans.

[citation needed] Elisabeth—the empress of Austria and queen of Hungary—became determined to ensure her favorite brother's happiness,[2] for she invited Leopold to an extended visit with the imperial family, among those who attended was her own fifteen-year-old daughter Archduchess Gisela of Austria.

There, Leopold was tactfully made aware that a marriage with Gisela would be looked upon with favor by Emperor Franz Joseph.

[3] Duke Maximillian and Princess Amalie were married on 20 September 1875 in Ebenthal, Lower Austria, Austria-Hungary.
