Antrim DEA within Antrim and Newtownabbey
Antrim Town DEA (1993-2014) within Antrim

Antrim is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Antrim and Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects six members to Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council and contains the wards of Antrim Centre, Fountain Hill, Greystone, Springfarm, Steeple and Stiles.[2] Antrim forms part of the South Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Antrim Area C which had existed since 1973. It was called Antrim Town until 2014, and originally contained seven wards (Balloo, Fountain Hill, Massereene, Rathenraw, Springfarm, Steeple and Stiles). For the 2014 local elections it was reduced by one ward, losing Massereene and Rathenraw but gaining Antrim Centre.
