尼阿美（法语：Niamey）是尼日尔尔的首都及最大城市，位在尼日尔河河畔，市区大部分位于尼日尔河的右岸。它是行政、文化和经济中心。

尼阿美可能创建于18世纪，但是直到法国在尼阿美设立了殖民站之前，一直没有重要的地位。此后，尼阿美发展成了一个重要的中心，并于1926年12月28日成为尼日尔的首府。尼阿美的人口也从1930年的3000人、1960年的约30,000人、1980年的25万人增加至2000年估计的80万人。因为干旱而移入的人口成了人口增加的主要原因，也为尼日尔的唯一大都市。

Overview

The city of Niamey itself is governed as an autonomous first-level administrative block, the Niamey Urban Community (fr. Communauté Urbaine de Niamey, CUN). It includes five Urban Communes, divided into 44 "Districts" and 99 "Quartiers", including formerly independent towns. It is a co-equal first division subdivision with the seven Regions of Niger. The Niamey Urban Community includes an administration and Governor appointed by national leaders. Like the rest of Niger, Niamey has seen a decentralization of governance since 2000. Government Ordinance n°2010-56 and Presidential Decree n°2010-679 of September 2010 mandated an elected City Council for the city of Niamey, subsumed under the CUN. This excludes some outlying areas of the CUN. Forty-five councilors are popularly elected and in turn elect the Mayor of the City of Niamey. In July 2011 the first Mayor under the new system, Oumarou Dogari Moumouni, was installed by the Governor of the CUN Mrs. Aïchatou Boulama Kané and the City Council. The City Council and Mayor have limited roles compared the CUN Governor. Niamey has a third layer of government in the Commune system. Each Commune elects its own council, and outside major cities, these function like independent cities. Niamey and other major cities have been, since the advent of decentralization, developing coordination of Commune governments in large cities made up of multiple Communes.
