Zubayr Amiri (Dari: زبیر امیري, born 2 May 1990) in Kabul is a footballer from Afghanistan. Amiri operates in midfield, and can also play in a more attacking role; he is considered a versatile player because he is proficient with both feet. He currently plays for SC Hessen Dreieich and has previously played for Viktoria Aschaffenburg and Eintracht Frankfurt II. Amiri has also been capped by the Afghanistan national football team.
After playing youth football for 1.FC Langendiebach, TSV 1860 Hanau and Viktoria Aschaffenburg, Amiri began his senior career at Viktoria Aschaffenburg in the 2009–10 season, in which the club competed in the Hessenliga. Zubayr had a successful season, playing twenty-eight of Viktoria's thirty-six games and also scoring twice, but he left the club at the end of the season after they went into administration and were relegated, despite finishing in eighth place. As a result of this, Amiri transferred to Eintracht Frankfurt II for the 2010–11 season.
Amiri made his debut for Frankfurt in a 3–2 loss to Hessen Kassel on 1 September 2010. In the midfielder's first season at the club, Frankfurt finished sixth in the Regionalliga Süd. Amiri featured in twenty-four of Frankfurt's thirty matches, scoring one goal. He also contributed eight assists, doubling the amount of goals he created at Viktoria Aschaffenburg. His first goal for Frankfurt came in a 4–0 home win over TSV 1860 München II on 7 December 2010.
