The Temagami Magnetic Anomaly, also called the Temagami Anomaly or the Wanapitei Anomaly, is a magnetic anomaly resulting from a large buried geologic structure in on the Canadian Shield in the Temagami region of northeastern Ontario, Canada. It stretches from Lake Wanapitei in the west to Bear Island in Lake Temagami.
The Aboriginal community of Teme-Augama Anishnabai lies partly within the Temagami Magnetic Anomaly, including the Temagami First Nation on Bear Island which is a portion of the Aboriginal community. Located nearby are a number of other geological structures, including the Sudbury Basin, the Lake Wanapitei impact crater and the Temagami greenstone belt, although none of the structures are directly related to each other in the sense of resulting from the same geophysical processes.
