The strada statale 163 Amalfitana (SS163), also known as Amalfi Drive, is an Italian state highway {{convert|50.36|km}} long in Italy located in the region of Campania which runs along the stretch of the Amalfi Coast between the southern Italian towns of Sorrento and Amalfi. The drive between Salerno, at the southern base of the peninsula, and Positano follows the coast for about {{convert|80|km|mi|abbr=on}}.

For the greater part of its route, the road is carved out of the side of the coastal cliffs, giving views down to the Tyrrhenian Sea and on the other side up to the cliffs above. The road passes through the village of Positano, which is built on the side of the hill.
