AMosaic is an Amiga port of the Mosaic web browser. It was the first non-*NIX port of Mosaic, and the first graphical web browser made available for the Amiga. AMosaic was based on NCSA's Mosaic, but was not distributed by the University of Illinois or NCSA. The last version of AMosaic was a 2.0 prerelease.

As is the case for other versions of Mosaic worldwide, AMosaic is no longer updated or supported. It has, however, been ported to the AmigaOS source compatible AROS operating system. The developers of AMosaic went on to develop IBrowse, which is still in active development today.

AMosaic makes extensive use of Amiga Datatypes, i.e. it uses AmigaOS 3.0's DataTypes library for its external and inlined image decoding. This means that AMosaic can decode any image for which the user has a DataType installed. For example, users would simply have installed a GIF datatype to view any GIF on the web. AMosaic operates similarly for other image and music file types such as JPEG images, MIDI modules, and so on.
