Al-Āmir bi'Aḥkāmi l-Lah (1096–1130) (Arabic: الآمر بأحكام الله‎) was the tenth Fatimid Caliph (1101–1130), and recognised as the 20th imam by the Mustaali Ismaili Shi'a sect.

Like his father al-Musta‘lī (1094–1101), al-Āmir was controlled by the regent al-Afdal Shahanshah (1094–1121) and had little influence in political matters. However, after the overthrow of al-Afdal in 1121 he managed to gain control of government. His reign was marred by the loss of Tyre to the Crusaders, as well as by the continuation of the Ismā‘ilī Shī‘ah schism between the Nizārī and the Musta‘liyyah. This conflict climaxed in the assassination of al-Āmir on October 7, 1130.

His death led to further power struggles, through which Al-Hafiz, a cousin of al-Āmir, eventually came to power, while the Taiyabiah claimed that Taiyab abi al-Qasim, the four year old son of al-Amir was al-Āmir's rightful successor as Imām.
