Antianeira (Ancient Greek: Ἀντιάνειρα, lit. 'a match for men') was the name of a number of women in Greek mythology:
- Antianeira, possibly mother of the Argonaut Idmon by the god Apollo.[1]
- Antianeira, mother of the Argonauts Eurytus and Echion.[2]
- Antianeira, an Amazon who succeeded Penthesilea as Queen of the Amazons. In some version of the myth, she was killed during the Trojan War fighting for the latter.[3]
