Amy Nixon (born September 29, 1977) is a Canadian curler. At the age of four she moved with her family to Regina, Saskatchewan, where she grew up. She moved to Calgary in 1995, where she now resides. Nixon is an alumnus of the University of Calgary with three degrees in kinesiology, women's studies and law. She was admitted to the Alberta bar in November 2006.

Nixon began curling competitively at fourteen. Her first notable success was being a Gold Medal winning skip at the Saskatchewan Winter Games in 1994. As a third for Shannon Kleibrink, Nixon shared in several successes, including winning the Canada Cup in 2005 and 2009 and representing Canada and won a bronze medal in Turin for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games. Nixon captured her first Scotties Tournament of Hearts title in 2012 as an alternate for the Heather Nedohin team after previous appearances in 2004, 2008, and 2010 with Kleibrink.
