'''Amyntas IV''' ([[Greek]]:''Αμύντας Δ'') was a titular king of [[Macedon|Macedonia]] in [[359 BC]] and member of the [[Argead dynasty]].

He was son of King [[Perdiccas III of Macedon]]. After his father's death in 359 BC he became king, but he was only an infant. [[Philip II of Macedon]], Perdiccas' brother, became his tutor and [[regent]]. In that same year Philip II declared himself king of Macedonia, expropriating his young nephew. Amyntas was judged dangerous enough to be a menace to Philip, who even gave him his daughter [[Cynane]] in marriage. The succession of [[Alexander the Great|Alexander]] in [[336 BC]] changed things - he immediately had Amyntas executed.
