Amanda Woodward is a fictional character on the primetime serial drama Melrose Place, portrayed by Heather Locklear. The character was brought onto the show in order to boost its ratings, a ploy that was successful. Amanda was brought back for The CW's 2009 reboot, but her appearance was not enough to prevent the show's cancellation.

Entertainment Weekly named Amanda one of the 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years.[1] AOL ranked her the 37th Most Memorable Female TV Character.[2] She was also included in TV Guide's list of the "best TV bitches",[3] and their 2013 list of The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time.[4] In 2016, Rolling Stone ranked her #20 of their "40 Greatest TV Villains of All Time".[5]
