Angasima-tepui, also known as Adanta, Adankasima or Adankachimö, is a tepui in Bolívar state, Venezuela. A relatively isolated peak, both it and nearby Upuigma-tepui lie just south of the vast Chimantá Massif, from which they are separated by the Río Aparurén valley. Amurí-tepui, the closest member of the Chimantá Massif, is only 8 km from Angasima-tepui.
The imposing triangular peak of Angasima-tepui has an elevation of around 2250 m. Its summit plateau is heavily windswept, the northern part being dominated by low herbaceous vegetation. A southern peak bears dense tepui scrub. The mountain has a summit area of 2 sqkm and an estimated slope area of 32 sqkm.
The undescribed pitcher plant Heliamphora sp. 'Angasima Tepui' is endemic to the summit region of Angasima-tepui.
