Antigonia (Ancient Greek: Ἀντιγόνεια), also transliterated as Antigonea and Antigoneia, was an ancient Greek[1] city in Chaonia, Epirus, and the chief inland city of the ancient Chaonians. It is located just south of the village of Saraqinisht, Gjirokastër County, Albania.

The area has been declared a National Archaeological Park.[2]
