Antoniny (Ukrainian: Антоніни, Yiddish: אנטאניןAntonin) (formerly known as Holodky (Голодьки) and Antonyny (Антонини) is an urban-type settlement in the Krasyliv Raion (district) of Khmelnytskyi Oblast (province) in western Ukraine. The town's population was 2,655 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census and 2,400 in 2011.

In the 1870s a Neo-baroque palace was built in Antoniny by Austrian architects Fellner & Helmer for the noble Sanguszko and families. However, it was burned to the ground in a fire set by Bolsheviks in August 1919, and only the palace service buildings remain.
