美国汽车公司（American Motors Corporation，缩写：AMC）是1954年5月1日哈德逊汽车同纳许·凯文纳特公司（Nash-Kelvinator Corporation）合并而成的一家美国汽车公司，这在当时是美国历史上最大的一笔公司合并案[3]。虽然如此，当时的美国汽车市场是由底特律的三巨头（即通用汽车、福特汽车和克莱斯勒）统治的，美国汽车公司的成立因此被视为以小博大[4][5]。
它曾生产过悍马、吉普和AMC系列汽车，取得了一定的成功。1987年3月9日，克莱斯勒宣布将以15亿美元（2023的$4,022,847,100[6]）的价格收购该公司，美国汽车公司被收购后在1988年8月25日改名为“Jeep-Eagle”[7]，1990年3月29日被克莱斯勒完全吞并。[1]
