The High Academy of the Quechua Language (Spanish: Academia Mayor de la Lengua Quechua; Quechua: Qheswa Simi Hamut'ana Kuraq Suntur/Qhichwa Simi Hamut'ana Kuraq Suntur), or AMLQ, is a Peruvian organization dedicated to the teaching, promotion, and dissemination of the Quechua language.

Although the institution has subsidiary associations in different regions of Peru and in several cities around the world, its main area of action is the department of Cuzco. Its publications and Quechua as a second language courses also specialize in the Cuzco dialect. The institution is controversial because of its particularist linguistic ideologies and its defense of a 5-vowel alphabet. There is also no consensus about whether the organization is a private or a public institution.
