Amagá (Spanish pronunciation: [amaˈɣa]) is a town and municipality in Antioquia Department, Colombia. It is part of the subregion of Southwestern Antioquia. The area was known for its coal and iron ore production and it hosted early iron works.

The Forge (La Ferrería) produced the first steel in Antioquia and operated from 1864 to 1931. Its ruins are now a Rural National Monument.

There is also a very famous touristic place which is called "El viaducto"(the path).
