Kamen Rider Amazons (仮面ライダーアマゾンズ, Kamen Raidā Amazonzu), known in the overseas market as Amazon Riders, is a 2016 Japanese tokusatsu web drama. It is a darker and more mature reimagining of the 1974 television series, Kamen Rider Amazon, and part of Toei's Super Hero Year, celebrating the 45th anniversary of the Kamen Rider Series (and the 40th series of Super Sentai). Amazon Riders was originally exclusively released through Amazon Video in Japan starting April 1, 2016. It was also broadcast on television on BS Asahi (TV Asahi's broadcast satellite channel) starting July 3, 2016, and Tokyo MX starting July 6, 2016. In a similar vein as the reboot films based on the Shōwa era series, Kamen Rider: The First & Kamen Rider: The Next, Kamen Rider Amazons takes place in an alternate universe separate from the main series timeline.

The second season was announced on May 31, 2016, that it will be released in spring 2017 on Amazon Prime. The second season is titled Kamen Rider Amazons Season 2 (仮面ライダーアマゾンズ Season 2, Kamen Raidā Amazonzu Shīzun Tsū) and was exclusively released through Amazon Video in Japan starting April 7, 2017.

Plans to release season one in international markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany were announced in 2016. An English subtitled version of the first season launched on Amazon Prime on April 19, 2018 with Season 2 launching on September 21, 2018.
