The Gantimurovs (Russian: Гантимуровы) is a Russian princely family descending from Tungusic Evenk or Mongolic Daur prince Gantimur (Mongolian Gan:steel, tömör:iron). Alternate spellings are Gantimourov(a), Gantimouroff, Gan-Timur and Gan-Timour.The name "Gantömör" is a real Mongolian name so the Gantimur prince might be Daur Mongolian.

The descendants of Gantimur were confirmed as Knyaz Gantimurov by the Tsar Ivan V and Peter I's decree of 1686.

The Gantimurov family's arms is in Armorial général de la noblesse de l'Empire russe, volume XVII.
