Antanimora Sud (Antanimora Atsimo) is a town and commune in Madagascar. It belongs to the district of Ambovombe-Androy, which is a part of the Androy Region. It is situated on the Route Nationale 13, Ihosy to Tolagnaro, at 321 km from Ihosy, 203 km from Betroka, 78 km from Beraketa and 62 km from Ambovombe.

Note on the mineral list: Specimens (especially spinel and phlogopite) labelled as coming from Antanimora might not originate from the Antanimora Commune, but from one of the many phlogopite prospects and mines further north or northeast of Antanimora. Since Antanimora town is a centre in the area and is situated along a Route Nationale, minerals might have been bought here.
