Amy Louise Cure (born 31 December 1992) is an Australian former professional track cyclist. She cycles for Team Jayco–AIS. She has set several world records. She won a junior world championship race in 2009, and represented Australia at the 2012 Summer Olympics. She is the first person in history to medal at every endurance track event at world championship level; with three newly gained medals in the team pursuit, omnium, and madison at 2017 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Hong Kong.[3]

While Cure was considered a typical Tasmanian type of racer, with a never-give-up attitude during races, she was considered the latest cycling talent in Tasmania, following legendary 5-time world champion Danny Clark, Olympic gold medallist Michael Grenda and road cyclist Richie Porte.
