The Amper (), called the Ammer () upstream of the Ammersee, through which it runs, is the largest tributary of the Isar in southern Bavaria, Germany. It flows generally north-eastward, reaching the Isar in Moosburg, about from its source in the Ammergau Alps, with a flow of 45&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>/s. Including its tributary, Linder, it is long. During the bird breeding season (1 March to 15 July), driving on the Amper from Stegen to Grafrath and between Schöngeising and Fürstenfeldbruck is prohibited. The city of Fürstenfeldbruck has designated a number of official bathing opportunities along the Amper.
