Princess Augusta of Bavaria, Duchess of Leuchtenberg (German: Augusta Amalia Ludovika Georgia von Bayern) (born Strassburg, 21 June 1788; died Munich, 13 May 1851) was the second child and first daughter of Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria and Augusta Wilhelmine of Hesse-Darmstadt.

On 14 January 1806 in Munich, Augusta married Eugène de Beauharnais, only son of Josephine de Beauharnais and Alexandre, vicomte de Beauharnais and stepson of Napoleon. In 1817, Augusta's father created his son-in-law Duke of Leuchtenberg and Prince of Eichstädt, with the title Royal Highness.

Augusta and Eugène had seven children:

• Eugénie (1808–1847). Married Friedrich, Prince of Hohenzollern-Hechingen.
• Auguste, 2nd Duke of Leuchtenberg, (1810–1835) married Maria II of Portugal. There was no issue from this marriage
• Amélie, (1812–1873) married Pedro I of Brazil (father of Maria II of Portugal and Peter II of Brazil) and became Empress of Brazil
• Theodelinde (1814–1857). Married Wilhelm, 1st Duke of Urach.
• Carolina (1816)
• Maximilian (1817–1852), married Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaievna of Russia, eldest daughter of Nicholas I of Russia, and received the title of "Prince Romanovsky", addressed as "His Imperial Highness", in 1852.
