Antimerus is a genus of rove beetles found in eastern Australia.

== Description == Antimerus are relatively large for rove beetles, with adults reaching 13-20 mm in length. They are robust and more or less parallel-sided, with the head approximately the same width as the rest of the body. The mandibles are relatively long, falcate and usually lack distinct internal teeth. The deflexed hypomera of the pronotum are usually visible in lateral view (concealed in A. monteithi). The first four tarsomeres on all legs are broad and bear tenent setae ventrally, and all tarsi bear one pair of empodial setae. Some species have a metallic appearance.
