Amaury Leveaux (born December 2, 1985) is a French swimmer from Belfort [cite web|url=http://www.europeanchampionships.org/Eindhoven2008/docs/50-Fly-M.pdf|title=50-Fly-M|publisher=LEN|date=31 March 2008|accessdate=2008-03-31] . He currently holds the 200 m freestyle (long course) national record. He also holds the European record in the 50 m freestyle (long course).

At the French national championships, Leveaux managed to qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics in the 50 m and 200 m freestyle events. Finishing fifth in the 100 m, he also qualified for the 4x100 m freestyle relay team. He set an Olympic record in the 100 m freestyle in the heats of the relay after leading off. France finished second in the final and Leveaux thus won a silver. Later in the week, Leveaux set an Olympic record in his preliminary 50 m freestyle heat with a time of 21.46 seconds. In the final of that event, he swam even faster (21.45 seconds) but finished behind Brazil's César Cielo Filho to take the silver medal.
