We report powder and single-crystal neutron diffraction measurements of the magnetic order in $A{\mathrm{MnBi}}_{2}$ ($A=\mathrm{Sr}$ and Ca), two layered manganese pnictides with anisotropic Dirac fermions on a Bi square net. Both materials are found to order at ${T}_{\mathrm{N}}\ensuremath{\approx}300$ K in $\mathbf{k}=0$ antiferromagnetic structures, with ordered Mn moments at $T=10$ K …
