Amergin [1] Glúingel ("white knees") (also spelt Amhairghin Glúngheal) or Glúnmar ("big knee") is a bard and judge for the Milesians in the Irish Mythological Cycle. He was appointed Chief Ollam of Ireland by his two brothers, the kings of Ireland. A number of poems attributed to Amergin are part of the Milesian mythology.

Amergin divides the kingship between Éremon, who rules the northern half of Ireland, and Éber Finn, who rules the southern half.
