Quite different, in fact. Dark matter is matter that doesn't give off photons out deep in space. We know its there because of the way it bends light (see general relativity) from other sources.

Anti-matter are counterparts to normal matter but with opposite charges. There is far more matter than anti-matter in the universe and there are many processes that can produce anti-matter in the lab. You just have to hold it in a field or something in vacuum because it can't contact other matter without annihilating both.
