Andon Dimitrov - (Ayvatovo, today Liti, Greece - January 1867, Sofia, Bulgaria – March 13, 1933) (Bulgarian: Андон Димитров) was a Bulgarian 19th-20th century revolutionary. He was among the founders of the Bulgarian Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Committees.
Dimitrov was born to a rich Bulgarian family in the village of Ayvatovo (now a part of the municipality of Mygdonia in Central Macedonia). He graduated from the Bulgarian Men's High School of Thessaloniki in 1889 and then he studied law in Istanbul. He wasn't able to complete his studies due to a disease. He returned to Thessaloniki and taught Turkish in his old high school from 1892-1897. He also taught Bulgarian in the local Turkish gymnasium.
On October 23, 1893 Dimitrov, together with Hristo Tatarchev, Dame Gruev, Ivan Hadzhinikolov, Petar Poparsov and Hristo Batandzhiev put the beginnings of what would later be known the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization (IMARO). Andon Dimitrov was a member of the organization's central committee from its very beginning; he was re-elected in the committee in 1896.
