The Comarca de Antequera is one of the nine comarcas (currently with no administrative role) in the province of Málaga, in Andalusia, southern Spain.

It is located in the area of the Surco Intrabético range, on the boundary with the province of Córdoba. The landscape is largely plain (Hoya de Antequera), run by the higher valley of the Guadalhorce river.

The present-day comarca was established in 2003 by the Government of Andalusia.[1][2]
