Amaza Lee Meredith (August 14, 1895 – 1984) was an American architect, educator and artist. Meredith was unable to enter the profession as an architect because of "both her race and her sex" as an African-American woman, and worked primarily as an art teacher at Virginia State University (then Virginia State College), where she founded the art department. She is best known for her residence, Azurest South, where she and her partner, Edna Meade Colson, resided together.
