Ilirneyite is a rare tellurite mineral with the formula Mg0.5[ZnMn3+(TeO3)3]•4.5H2O. It was discovered at the Sentyabr'skoe deposit (of silver and gold) in the Ilirney Range, Western Chukotka, Russia.
Ilirneyite is a trivalent-manganese-analogue of zemannite. It is also a zinc- and manganese-analogue of keystoneite and kinichilite.
