Ayumi Hamasaki (浜崎 あゆみ Hamasaki Ayumi), född 2 oktober 1978 i Fukuoka-prefekturen, är en japansk popsångerska. Hon har vunnit stor berömmelse i hemlandet; detta främst hos tonårsflickor för sina jordnära och personliga sångtexter som många unga tjejer känner igen sig i.
Hon är även uppskattad av människor i Västsvärlden, och då oftast av tjejer och killar som har intresserat sig för japansk populärkultur. Hon har dock på senare tid börjar övergå från pop till mer rockiga låtar. Hon har medverkat i flera reklamfilmer, bl.a. för Panasonic och kaffedrycken Boss. Hon har även en egen TV-show kallad, ayu-ready.
Hon debuterade 1998 med låten Poker Face efter att ha tagit musiklektioner i New York. Hon har startat en eget märke, "ayupan", med bl.a. små samlarfigurer av ayumi och hennes hund, lunchboxar, pennskrin m.m.
Ayumi Hamasaki är en av världens mest remixade artister med hela 14 remix-album släppta. Mest kända är Ayu Trance 1, 2 och 3 som har blivit remixade av techno-artister som Mike Koglin och System F.
