The Amalgamated Machine, Engine and Iron Grinders' and Glazers' Society was a small but long-lasting trade union representing machine workers in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The union was founded in 1844, but grew only very slowly; by 1897, it had 514 members in eight branches. It affiliated to the General Federation of Trade Unions, within which its secretary, William Saxon, became prominent.[1][2]

By 1956, membership had slumped to only 150, so in September, the union merged into the Amalgamated Engineering Union.[1]
