Kishori Amonkar (April 10, 1932 – April 3, 2017) was an Indian classical vocalist. She is considered to be one of the foremost singers in the Hindustani tradition and is an innovator of the Jaipur gharana, or a community of musicians sharing a distinctive musical style. She was a performer of the classical genre khyal and the light classical genres thumri and bhajan. Amonkar trained under her mother, classical singer Mogubai Kurdikar of the Jaipur gharana (musical tradition of Jaipur), but experimented with a variety of vocal styles in her career. She is considered one of the pre-eminent representatives of Hindustani classical music.

Amonkar's work in light music has informed her classical singing and she modified her Jaipur gharana performance style by applying features from other gharanas. She has been both praised and criticized for pushing the boundaries of the Jaipur tradition. Her approach prioritizes emotional expression over tradition, so she frequently departs from gharana’s rhythmic, melodic, and structural traditions, Ultimately, she aimed to infuse the emotional appeal of the more popular styles into the comparatively rigid classical tradition.She has created many compositions for a number of ragas. Amonkar's students include Manik Bhide, Meena Joshi, Suhasini Mulgaonkar, Arun Dravid, Raghunandan Panshikar, Arati Ankalikar-Tikekar, Devaki Pandit, Mira Panshikar, Shivraj Shitole, Nandini Bedekar and her granddaughter Tejashree Amonkar. Amonkar is also a popular speaker and has traveled traveled throughout India, best known for lectures on the role of rasa (feelings or emotions) in music.
