Amegilla walkeri or Amegilla (Zonamegilla) walkeri is a species of digger bee. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1905 by British-American entomologist Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell.[1][2][3]

The body length is 10–12 mm, forewing length 7–8 mm. Both sexes have grey fur on the scutum, due to a mixture of black and white hairs, with metallic, blue, fur bands on the terga.[2]
