Amelia af Storbritannien (10. juni 1711 – 31. oktober 1786) var en britisk prinsesse, der var datter af kong Georg 2. af Storbritannien og Caroline af Ansbach.
Biografi
Amelia blev født i Tyskland, hvor hendes farfar Georg Ludvig var kurfyrste af Hannover; da farfaderen blev konge i Storbritannien og faderen blev britisk tronfølger i år 1714, fulgte hun med resten af familien til London. Hun var udset som brud til sin fætter, kong Frederik den Store af Preussen, men Frederik blev i 1733 tvunget til at gifte sig med en anden. Amelia forblev herefter ugift og opholdt sig ved sin fars hof til hans død i 1760.

Frederick, Prince of Wales, and his sisters by Philip Mercier.jpg
Frederick, Prince of Wales, and his sister
In this portrait the 26-year-old Prince is shown playing the cello with three of his younger sisters; from left to right, Anne, Princess Royal (age 24) at the harpsicord, Princess Caroline (age 20) plucking a mandora (a form of lute) and Princess Amelia (age 22) reading from Milton. In the background is the Dutch House or Kew Palace at Kew where Anne lived before her marriage in 1734 to Prince William of Orange. The suggestion of harmony between the siblings belies the antipathy felt by his family for Frederick; it is said that he was hardly on speaking terms with Anne in the year that this portrait was painted.
