Amrozi bin Nurhasyim (a.k.a Amrozi) (b. July 5, 1962) is an Indonesian terrorist who was convicted for his part in the 2002 Bali bombing. He is a native of East Java.

Amrozi was allegedly motivated by the radical Islamic and anti-Western ideology espoused by Jemaah Islamiyah. On August 7, 2003, he was found guilty of his role in the bombings and sentenced to death, however, he has not been executed, due to legal technicalities. The law used to convict him was used retrospectively, and was ruled illegal by the Indonesian high court in July 2004. He is currently in Denpasar's prison.

Amrozi's seemingly nonchalant demeanor throughout his trial has earned him the nickname "The Smiling Assassin".
