Efiaimbalo (born c. 1925) is a Malagasy sculptor.

Efiaimbalo was born in Androka, where he still lives and works. A member of the Mahafaly people, he carves aloalos, wooden stele that serve as traditional grave markers. He incorporates modern symbols of wealth, such as aircraft and cars, into his designs, combining them with more traditional elements and carving them out of native hardwood. His work is in the collection of Jean Pigozzi.
