Prop Amor has signed a three-year extension while long-serving skipper Wilkin has committed to another two years.
Saints head coach Keiron Cunningham welcomed the news, saying: "I'm delighted that both players have agreed to stay at the club. They are integral to what we do here.
"Kyle is at the hub of our pack and is in his prime. He has been superb for us over the last couple of seasons and is one of our most consistent performers.
"Jon has been an important part of the Saints over the last 14 years and his leadership is second to none. He sets a superb example to all the players here and leads from the front on the field."
Amor, who joined from Wakefield in 2013 and won the Grand Final in his first year at the club, said: "Both my family and I are really happy in St Helens and we enjoy being here.
"I now want to try and kick on and gain international recognition and I believe I am at the right place to do that."
Wilkin said: "I have been part of this club for 14 seasons and I am delighted to stay here.
"It is a real honour to captain this team and help develop the next generation of leaders that are coming through. I am excited about 2017 and what is on the horizon for this group."
