Amari Torayasu (甘利 虎泰; 1498 – March 23, 1548) was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period who served the Takeda clan under Takeda Nobutora and Shingen. Amari was a shukurō, or clan elder, following Shingen's accession to family headship, and was one of "Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda Shingen".
Amari was killed in action at the battle of Uedahara in 1548, together with Itagaki Nobukata. The two were fighting side by side when suddenly a volley of arrows shot them down.
Amari was succeeded by his son Amari Masatada.
Japanese Politician Akira Amari is a descendant of Torayasu.
In NHK's 2007 Taiga drama Fūrinkazan, Amari is played by Raita Ryū.
