Jan Tore Amundsen (born 30 August 1968) is a retired Norwegian football midfielder.

From Rælingen, he joined Lillestrøm's junior setup and represented Norway as a youth international.[1] On the road to Lillestrøm's 1986 Junior Norwegian Championship win, Amundsen scored three goals in Lillestrøm's 4-1 quarter-final victory over Start.[2] Ahead of the 1987 season he was drafted into the senior squad, among others together with Jan Ove Pedersen and Roar Øien.[3]

Amundsen was unable to earn a regular spot in Lillestrøm's line-up and he quietly left the club. Along with Stein Amundsen, Bård Bjerkeland and Tom Sundby, he was one of four players who transferred to Lyn.[4] From 1989 through 1992 he played for Lyn in Eliteserien and 1. divisjon.[5] He went on to Drøbak-Frogn IL[6] and Skjetten SK.[7]
