The Anmatjere Community, or Anmatyere Council, was a former local government area in the Northern Territory of Australia whose seat was located in the town of Ti-Tree, Northern Territory, located approximately 200 kilometres (120 mi) north of Alice Springs. The Stuart Highway runs through the centre of Ti Tree.

On 1 July 2008, the area covered by the Anmatyere council was merged into the Central Desert Shire, and the Council ceased to exist.
