Amanda Serrano (born October 9, 1988) is a Puerto Rican professional boxer in the super bantamweight division. She has held the World Boxing Organization female super bantamweight title since 2016. She is also the second Puerto Rican boxer to become a four division world champion (super bantamweight, featherweight, super featherweight and lightweight).

As of February 2017, Serrano is ranked as the world's eight best female boxer, pound for pound, by BoxRec; she is also ranked as the world's second best super bantamweight by BoxRec.

Serrano is a graduate of Bushwick High School in Bushwick, Brooklyn, which closed in 2006.

Serrano is managed and trained by noted female American professional boxing trainer Jordan Maldonado of New York City. Serrano is Boxing 360's first world champion.

Amanda won the inaugural International Boxing Federation Super Featherweight title with a second round stoppage over Kimberly Connor, who had not lost a fight in seven years. In the second round, Serrano began landing power shots to the head, sending Connor to the canvas on her back midway through the round. Connor beat the count, but appeared helpless on the ropes as Serrano immediately battered her senseless and defenseless with numerous power shots to the head, forcing referee Benjy Esteves Jr. to stop the contest. The rounds were two-minute rounds, and the bout was scheduled for ten. According to Boxing 360 CEO Mario Yagobi negotiations are underway for Serrano to fight an IBF-WBC unification match with WBC female Super Featherweight champion Frida Wallberg of Sweden in early 2012. Serrano sparred for her title fight with her sister, Cindy Serrano, now training for her upcoming female World Welterweight title bout with Anne Sophie Mathis. The Serrano sisters are both trained by Jordan Maldonado.
