San Antonio is one of the 142 barangays of Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines.
San Antonio is bounded by the Dario River in the East, Judge Juan Luna Street in the West, Pat Senador and Baler Streets in the south and the Halang Creek in the north. Nearby barangays are Veterans Village (Project 7), Bahay Toro, Bungad, Katipunan, Del Monte and Paltok.
San Antonio is a part of the San Francisco del Monte area named after its benevolent Spanish friar and founder, St. Francis of Assisi. Founded by Saint Pedro Bautista on February 17, 1590, it was meant to be a place of solitude or "retreat" nestled atop a hill. The present Santuario de San Pedro Bautista was the first structure in the area.
It was an independent town during the Spanish era with an area of 250acres of land filled with wildlife and trees, later absorbed by Quezon City when it was created. Today, it is a heavily populated industrial district with factories mostly located along Judge Juan Luna Street. Two national roads are found in this area, namely Roosevelt and Del Monte Avenues.
Originally around 2.5km2 in area. It extended beyond Projects 7 and 8 as well as Timog Avenue area. Currently, it is composed of Barangays Damayan, Mariblo, Masambong, Paltok, Paraiso and San Antonio.
The patron saint of Barangay San Antonio is Anthony of Padua whose feast day, the entire community celebrates every 13 June.
As of the 2020 census of the Philippine Statistics Authority, the population of Barangay San Antonio went down to 22,229 from 24,667 5 years prior.[1]

Barangay San Antonio was one of the hardest-hit barangay in Quezon City by Typhoon Ondoy. The level of floodwaters from Halang Creek and a nearby stream reached as high as 30 feet especially in the areas such as West Riverside Street, Santiago Street, Guerrero Street, and Fernandez Streets. Many houses were destroyed by raging floodwaters and countless properties were damaged. The barangay council temporarily used the barangay covered court in San Jose Street as well as the Sinag-Tala Elementary School as an evacuation area. Massive relief operations for almost 2,000 affected families was launched in order to help the victims of the flooding. One drowning casualty was recorded/reported.
