Brigitte Amm is a retired German rower who won one gold and four silver medals at European championships between 1961 and 1966.[2]

At the 1961 East German national championships she became national champion with the women's eight.[3] The women's eight, made up solely of rowers from SCW DHfK Leipzig, was sent to the 1961 European Rowing Championships in Prague, Czechoslovakia, where they won silver.[4] In December 1961, seven of the eight rowers were given a Master of Sport award (Gisela Schirmer and their coxswain missed out).[5]
