Magdalena "Magda" Amo Rius{{family name footnote|lang=Spanish|Amo|Rius}} (born 23 July 1973) is a paralympic athlete from Spain competing mainly in category F10-11 long jump events.
Magdalena competed in the 1992 Summer Paralympics where she failed to finish the 200m but finished second in the long jump behind Raisa Zhuravleva who set a new games record. She returned for the 1996 Summer Paralympics concentrating on the long jump and it paid off as Magdalena came away with the gold medal in a new Paralympic record beating compatriot Rosalia Lazaro on count back with compatriot Purificacion Ortiz completing the Spanish clean sweep of medals.{{cite web |url=https://www.paralympic.org/magdalena-amo |title=Magdalena Amo |website=Paralympic.org |publisher=International Paralympic Committee |access-date=}}
