Amarmani Tripathi (born 14 February, 1956) is a politician from Eastern Uttar Pradesh. He was an MLA from Lakshmipur, Uttar Pradesh four times. He and his wife were released by UP Government in the Madhumita Shukla murder case in which he conspired to murder. He had earlier been a state Minister in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

Tripathi was arrested in September 2003 in connection with the murder of poet Madhumita Shukla, with whom he allegedly had an affair, and was murdered on 9 May 2003. The post-mortem report of Madhumita revealed that she was carrying a foetus that matched the DNA of Amarmani, and he and his wife, Madhumani Tripathi, were sentenced to life imprisonment in October 2007.
