Amanda Rose Shires (born March 5, 1982) is an American singer-songwriter and fiddle player. Shires has released nine solo albums starting in 2005, her most recent being Nobody's Girl in 2025. In 2019, she founded a country music supergroup called The Highwomen alongside Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris and Natalie Hemby and has also performed as a member of the Texas Playboys, Thrift Store Cowboys, and Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, as well as in a duo with Rod Picott. Along with Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, Shires won the Grammy Award for Best Americana Album for their 2017 album The Nashville Sound.

Following her parents' divorce, Shires' childhood was divided between the Texas cities of Lubbock and Mineral Wells. Her mother is a retired nurse. She also used to be a barrel racer at rodeos. Her father owns a wholesale nursery in Mineral Wells and has a hobby of gold prospecting in Alaska. She is distantly related to noted photographer Erica Shires, who produced the video for the song "Swimmer".

At the age of 10, she happened to be with her father while he was shopping for hunting gear at a pawn shop in Mineral Wells. She saw an inexpensive fiddle for sale and her father agreed to buy it for her on the condition that she learn to play it. It took a while for her to play it well; she usually practiced outside because her dog had a habit of howling while she played. When she was 12, she started taking fiddle lessons in Lubbock from Lanny Fiel, who knew Frankie McCourter from the Texas Playboys. She then started learning fiddle from McCourter and was later invited to play at the band's shows. At the age of 15, she joined the Texas Playboys, the former backing band for Western swing legend Bob Wills.

At the encouragement of Billy Joe Shaver, whom she joined to play fiddle with on tour, in 2005 Shires released her first solo album, the mostly instrumental Being Brave. Todd Snider then further promoted Shires by having her open shows for him as a solo performer.

Four years later, having relocated to Nashville, she released West Cross Timbers. Shires considers West Cross Timbers as her actual debut album as a solo singer-songwriter, explaining in interviews that she sets Being Brave aside from her later releases as "just demonstrations of my fiddle playing", describing the album as a type of résumé offered to Texas Playboys show attendees: "When we toured it was expected that the fiddle players would have their own stuff to sell; which is why I recorded Being Brave, which isn’t really a ‘debut’ album, but more of a showcase for my playing and occasional singing."

Shires toured extensively with Rod Picott from 2006. In 2009 she and Picott released the collaborative album Sew Your Heart with Wires. Shires has also performed and recorded with Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, Devotchka, Chris Isaak, Thrift Store Cowboys, Blackberry Smoke, and Justin Townes Earle.

In 2011, she appeared in the movie Country Strong as one of the musicians backing singer Kelly Canter, played by Gwyneth Paltrow. During 2011, Shires began attending Sewanee: The University of the South, a small liberal arts university in Sewanee, Tennessee. She graduated with a Master of Fine Arts degree in poetry in 2017.

Carrying Lightning, Shires next solo album, was released in 2011, and she was named Artist of the Year 2011 by Texas Music magazine, appearing on the publication's Winter 2012 cover. Down Fell the Doves followed Carrying Lightning in August 2013, and My Piece of Land was released in September 2016. The latter proved to be Shires' breakthrough, gaining her a nomination from the Americana Music Association.
