Amy Tinkler (born 27 October 1999) is a British artistic gymnast. She is the 2016 Olympic floor exercise bronze medalist and the 2015 British all-around champion.

In late March, Tinkler competed at the 2013 British Artistic Championships. In the All-Around competition Tinkler took second place with a final score of 53.800. She scored 14.050 in the vault, 12.100 on the uneven bars, 13.650 on the balance beam and 14.000 on the floor exercise. She competed in all four apparatus finals. In the vault final, Tinkler scored 14.100 for her first vault and 13.400 for her second vault for an average total of 13.750, which gave her the silver medal. Tinkler took the Gold medal on the uneven bars with a score of 12.900. In the beam final, she posted a score of 13.400, earning her the bronze medal, and in floor exercise final she scored 14.200 and became the floor exercise champion.

In July, Tinkler took part in the 2013 European Youth Olympic Festival in Utrecht, Netherlands. She was one third of the Great British silver medal winning team. Due to only the 2 highest scores counting in each four apparatuses, the only score contributing to Great Britain's final score of 109.750 was her floor exercise result of 13.400, despite posting a 14.600 on the vault, 11.550 on the uneven bars and 12.900 on the balance beam.

In March Tinkler competed at the 2014 British Artistic Gymnastics Championships, her second Junior British Championships after her first in 2013. She became the Junior All-Around champion with a winning score of 55.250. She scored 14.650 on vault, 13.150 on the uneven bars, 13.350 on the balance beam and 14.100 on the floor exercise. In an interview with British Gymnastics, Tinkler said “It’s amazing to win, I can’t believe it really I’m just so happy! I just came in and wanted to do my job and have a good competition”. As in the 2013 British Championships, Tinkler competed in all four event finals. In the Vault final, Tinkler’s first vault scored 14.750 and her second scored 14.150 for an average total of 14.450 earning her the silver medal behind 2013 All-Around champion, Tyesha Mattis. She placed fourth in the Uneven Bars final with a score of 13.250. Tinkler won the Bronze medal in the Balance Beam final with a score of 12.850. Tinkler shared first place on the Floor Exercise with Catherine Lyons with a score of 13.600.
