Amahl William D'vaz Pellegrino (born 18 June 1990) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a left winger or forward for Major League Soccer club San Jose Earthquakes.

Club career
Early career
Pellegrino started his career in Drammen FK, before moving to Bærum SK at the age of 22. Bærum played in the 2012 Norwegian First Division, was relegated that year, but won promotion again in 2013. In the summer of 2014, Pellegrino signed for top-tier club Lillestrøm SK. He made his league debut for the club in August 2014 against FK Haugesund. Following a tenure completely without league goals, he went on to Mjøndalen IF in the summer of 2015, but the club was relegated the same year. After failing to win promotion with Mjøndalen in 2016 and 2017, he achieved his childhood dream by signing a two-year-contract with his home town Eliteserien club Strømsgodset on 20 November 2017.

After being played mostly on the wing, he failed to succeed in Strømsgodset and was sold to Kristiansund in the 2019 season. There, he prospered with the team, and scored 33 goals in 39 league matches.

Damac
On 25 January 2021, he moved from Kristiansund to Damac in the Saudi Pro League for an undisclosed fee. He scored his only goals for the club in a 3–2 win over Al-Nassr in the Pro League on 9 April 2021.

Bodø/Glimt
He returned home to Norway on 17 August 2021 to join Bodø/Glimt on a free transfer. There, he found his place in the team, scoring 35 goals in his first 58 matches in all tournaments, including 9 in 21 matches in Europe. In his first season at Bodø/Glimt, he helped the club retain their title as Eliteserien champions with a 3–0 win over Mjøndalen in the final match of the league season.

Pellegrino netted 25 times during the 2022 Eliteserien season to finish as the league's top scorer, nine more goals than the league's second top scorer, teammate Hugo Vetlesen.

Pellegrino finished the 2023 Eliteserien season as the league's top scorer again with 24 goals. He was also named the league's player of the year as the club won their third league title in just four years.

San Jose Earthquakes
On 9 February 2024, Pellegrino joined MLS side San Jose Earthquakes on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

International career
In December 2023, Pellegrino was pre-called up by the Tanzania national football team for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
