Ahmeek is a village in Keweenaw County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The village is located within Allouez Township.

At 0.07 square miles (0.18 km²), it is the smallest municipality by land area in the state and is the only incorporated municipality in Keweenaw County.

The name Ahmeek is derived from the Ojibwe (Chippewa) language. The village takes its name from the Ojibwe word, amik, which means "Beaver", and it was named so because of an abundance of beavers in the vicinity of the present-day village.

The Ahmeek Mine was the most successful mine along the Kearsarge Amygdaloid Lode, which spans through Houghton and Keweenaw Counties, as well as the most profitable, and the largest producer along the lode. The Ahmeek Mine's Shafts No. 3 & 4 were also one of the most distinctive in all the Copper Country.
