Pierre-Joseph Amédée Tremblay (14 April 1876 – 14 July 1949) was a Canadian organist, composer, and music educator.
A largely self-taught composer, his output includes several motets, two masses, a few patriotic songs, works for solo organ, and the operetta L'Intransigeant (produced in Ottawa in 1906).
His organ piece Suite de quatre pièces pour grand orgue is his most well known composition.
Dedicated to Joseph Bonnet, it is noted for its "brilliant toccata" at the finale.
His works have been published by Orme, Le Passe-Temps, and Ed.
Archambault.
Composers Guillaume Couture and Vincent d'Indy were admirers of Tremblay's music.
