Amourah is a town and Latin Catholic titular bishopric in Algeria.
The commune lies in Djelfa Province. According to the 1998 census it has a population of 5,879.
It corresponds to ancient Amaura, a town in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis, one of many suffragans of the Metropolitan of Caesarea Mauretaniae (modern Cherchell) which faded.

Since the diocese was thus nominally restored in 1933, it has had the following non-consecutive incumbents :
