Amiskwia is a genus of soft-bodied marine animals known from fossils preserved in Middle Cambrian Lagerstatten, including the Burgess Shale of British Columbia, Canada, and the Maotianshan Shales of Yunnan Province, China. It is interpreted as a member of the clade Gnathifera in a broad sense, making it a close relative of modern chaetognaths, the arrow worms.
