Map of civil parish of Antrobus within the former borough of Vale Royal

Antrobus is a civil parish and village in Cheshire, England, immediately to the south of Warrington. It is situated within the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester, and has a population of 832.^[1]

The village shop^[2] and post office is owned and run cooperatively by the villagers for the benefit of the community having previously closed in 2003.

The name derives from the Old Norse Eindvizh-buski, a personal name and the word for bush or shrub. In the Domesday Book, the area is referred to as Entrobus. An alternative derivation of the name is the Norman-French Entre-bois which can be interpreted as 'within the woods'.
