Olga de Amaral (b. Bogotá, Colombia, 1932) is a Colombian textile artist. Her works, which are internationally known, often take the form of large tapestries covered with gold or silver leaf.

She is one of the textile artists who, in the 1960s, first turned textile arts from a primarily two-dimensional representational art form into a three-dimensional, abstract art form.

Her work has been shown around the world.
