Anuanurunga[2] is an atoll in French Polynesia, Pacific Ocean. It is part of the Duke of Gloucester Islands, a subgroup of the Tuamotu group. Anuanurunga's nearest neighbor is Nukutepipi, which is located about 22 km (14 mi) to the ESE.

Anuanurunga is a very small atoll. It is ring-shaped, measuring approximately 3.3 km (2.1 mi)in diameter with a total area of 7 km2 (3 sq mi). Its reef is quite broad, enclosing completely the small lagoon. There are four relatively large islands on its reef, as well as a few small motu.

Anuanurunga Atoll is currently uninhabited.
