Athiémé is a town and arrondissement located in the Mono Department of Benin. The commune covers an area of 220 square kilometres and as of 2013 had a population of 56,483 people.

== Geography == Athiémé is located in the south-western part of Benin, in the Mono basin, close to the border with Togo. The Mono River, one of the region’s principal waterways, flows near the commune and plays a central role in agriculture, fishing and seasonal flooding dynamics. The commune shares boundaries with Comé to the south, Lokossa to the north and east, and the Togolese prefectures of Agou and Yoto across the river to the west. The landscape is characterized by low plateaus and floodplains with sandy and hydromorphic soils.
