Antapite[1][2] (possibly from Quechua anta copper, p'iti dividing by pulling powerfully to the extremes; gap, interruption[3]) is a 4,410-metre-high (14,469 ft)[1] mountain in the Andes of Peru.

It is located in Ayacucho Region, Cangallo Province, on the border of the districts of Paras and Totos.

Antapite lies north of mount Ccerone.

[1] Mines in the Antapite region carry precious and base metals which contribute to the local and global economy.
