耶胡达·阿米亥（Yehuda Amichai,1924—2000），以色列当代诗人，也是二十世纪最重要的国际诗人之一。生于德国的乌尔兹堡，十二岁时随家迁居以色列，二战期间他在盟军犹太军队中服役，目击了以色列独立战争和西奈战役，战后他当过多年的中学教师，先后出版了诗集《诗：1948-1962》、《现在风暴之中，诗：1963-1968》、《时间》等十余部，在欧美诗坛上具有较大的影响，被译成数十种文字。他曾经多次获得国际国内文学奖，2000年逝世。 阿米亥的诗透明而睿智，善于使用圣经和犹太历史作为诗歌意象，把日常与神圣、爱情与战争、个人与民族等因素糅合起来，因此他的诗多涉人类的生存环境和普遍命运，其想象力丰富得惊人，具有深远的哲学意味和语言渗透力。
