Abstract Amorphous alloys are a new class of structural materials with long range atomic disorder. These alloys possess a series of superior mechanical and physical properties, and can be applied in fields of defense, airspace and so on. However, in these applications, amorphous alloys are prone to fail when exposed to high-energy laser or space plasma. Meanwhile, their structure response to high-energy laser irradiation is also of scientific significance. Therefore, the laser ablation of amorphous alloys has attracted increasing attention in recent years. This short review focuses on the nanosecond pulse laser ablation of amorphous alloys in atmosphere and water environments. We present relevant experimental and theoretical progresses about typical phenomena in ablation, such as melting, hydrodynamic instability，explosive boiling，bubble dynamics and so on. The review ends with the key aspects that deserve further investigations.
