Antony (Cornish: Trevanta), (grid reference SX399547), is a village and civil parish in the Caradon district of Cornwall, United Kingdom, on the Rame Peninsula about three miles west of Torpoint. It had a population of 436 according to the 2001 census.

National Trust property

"Antony" is the name given to an early 18th-century house and today is the name in the ownership of the National Trust. The house is faced in silvery-grey Pentewan stone, flanked by colonnaded wings of mellow brick and the home of the Carew family for 600 years.

The grounds were landscaped by Georgian garden designer Humphrey Repton and include the formal garden with the "National Collection of Day Lilies".

The surrounding woodland garden (not National Trust, but owned by the Carew Pole Garden Trust) is noted for rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and magnolias, and surrounding woods provide delightful walks.
