San Antonio is a coastal municipality in the province of Zambales in the Philippines. As of the 2010 Census, it had a population of 34,217 people.
San Antonio was formerly just a hunting lodge where hunters from the northern towns of the province would stay to rest. The first Ilocano families from the Paoay area of Ilocos Norte arrived in 1830 and founded the first settlement that grew into what is now the town.
The town was the site of the United States Navy San Miguel Naval Communications Station. After Mt. Pinatubo's eruption in 1991 forced the Americans to leave, it is now used for educational purposes of the Philippine Navy and merchant marine.
San Antonio was, at first, called "Pamalisaraoan", and later "Pamisaraoan". The settlement was given the status of a Barrio in 1836. The Teniente of the barrio in that year was Don Gregorio Banaga from 1836 - 1846, and Nov. 25, 1847 - 1849. He was followed by Don Vicente Lacuesta, May 12, 1849, from Teniente Primero to Teniente Absoluto. Pamisaraoan was organized as a pueblo on May 12,1849, and renamed "San Antonio".
San Antonio is administratively subdivided into 14 barangays:
-Angeles
