Santo Antônio do Grama is a municipality in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. The population is 3,886 (2020 est.) in an area of 130.21 km².

The city became prominent due to the mining accident in March 2018 where a mine piping from Anglo American plc leaked more than 300 tons of ore pulp to the local river, halting the water supply to the population. [2] [3]
