Antigone (Greek: Ἀντιγόνη) was a Macedonian noblewoman who lived in the 4th century BC.

She was born to Cassander by a mother whose name is unknown. Antigone was the niece of the Regent Antipater. Her father and paternal uncle were the sons of Iolaus and through her father Antigone was a distant collateral relative to the Argead dynasty.

Antigone was originally from either Paliura or Eordaea. Little is known of her life. Antigone married a Macedonian nobleman of obscure origin called Magas who was from Eordaea. Antigone and Magas lived in Eordaea and had a daughter called Berenice I of Egypt.
