The Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM) is an organization of municipal governments in the province of Manitoba, Canada. All incorporated municipalities in Manitoba are members.
Its stated purpose is to "identify and address the needs and concerns of members to achieve strong and effective municipal government."
The AMM is funded solely by its members and by its business arm, the AMM Trading Company.
