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 (Amazon), also spelled Antianara, 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]
