An ambe, in anatomy, is a superficial jutting out of a bone.

Ambe is also the name of an old surgical instrument, made famous by Hippocrates, for reducing dislocations of the shoulder, so called because its extremity projects like the prominence of a rock.

Ambe is also the name of an Indian human resources consulting firm.
