In computing, the AMIga Window Manager (amiwm) is a stacking window manager for the X Window System.

Amwim was written by Marcus Comstedt. "The purpose of amiwm is to make life more pleasant for Amiga-freaks like myself who has/wants to use UNIX workstations once in a while."

Amiwm emulates the Amiga Workbench screen. The author has indicated that he intends to keep up with any Amiga interface changes in the future.

In 2000, TuxRadar selected Amiwm as one of the year's best window managers
