Amanda Green is an American lyricist, composer, and actress. Born in New York City in 1963, she is the daughter of actress Phyllis Newman and lyricist/playwright Adolph Green. She attended an actors' training program at the Circle in the Square Theatre School (NYC) and began writing songs and performing in Manhattan cabaret venues.

In the early 2000s, Green wrote the lyrics Up the Weeki Without a Paddle (2000; Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle nomination) and Once Upon a Primetime (2002). In 2003, she wrote the lyrics for and co-starred in For the Love of Tiffany: A Wifetime Original Musical, which was produced as part of the New York International Fringe Festival.
