Hamisi Amani-Dove (born 28 March 1974) is an American soccer player.

A graduate of Rutgers University, sixth all-time scoring leader at the University with 32 goals in 72 games, he was drafted by the MetroStars of Major League Soccer after college. He turned down the offer opting to sign with AZ Alkmaar in the Second Division in Holland in 1996, he was also selected for the U.S. Olympic Team that played in Atlanta that year. Amani-Dove scored what many have said is one of the most important goals for that club's history in 1998, the equalizer in the away match against ADO Den Haag to win promotion for the club.

After Holland, Amani-Dove played with Bad Bleiberg and was a featured player scoring 32 goals in two seasons with the club. In 1999 the player made a move to Holon Zafririm in the Israeli first division where Amani-Dove again showed his scoring touch with 19 goals in his two seasons with the club. In 2001 the Dallas Burn of Major League Soccer acquired Amani-Dove. In 2002 unhappy with the direction of the team, Amani-Dove moved to the USL and played with the Rochester Rhinos and subsequently the Virginia Beach Mariners. Amani-Dove retired in 2005 and is now a businessman in the Washington, DC metro area.
