Al-A'amiriya (Arabic العامرية) is a neighborhood in the Mansour district of western Baghdad, Iraq, on the way to Anbar Province. The name is also written Amariya, Amariyah, Ameria, Ameriya, Amerya, Amiriya and Amiriyah.
It was an upper-class neighbourhood until about 2006, when it was devastated by war. Under Islamic State rule, many rural inhabitants were displaced from Anbar to Al-A'amiriya, resulting in even more demographic change.
