Amelichloa is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Poaceae. Its native range stretches from Mexico into southern South America.

Arriaga and Mary Elizabeth Barkworth in Sida vol.22 on page 146 in 2006. The genus name of Amelichloa is in honour of María Amelia Torres (1934–2011), who was an Argentine botanist, lecturer and curator of the Herbarium of the National University of La Plata.
