Antipolo, officially the City of Antipolo (), is a component city and capital of the province of Rizal, Philippines. According to the , it has a population of people. It is the most populous city in Rizal Province and in Calabarzon region, and the seventh most-populous city in the Philippines. It is also the most populated city under the component city status.

Its higher elevation than that of Metro Manila and rest of Rizal provides vantage points overlooking the metropolitan area and surrounding parts of the province, particularly at night. Its locally grown mangoes and cashews are popular among tourists, as well as suman – a local delicacy made out of glutinous rice. The Hinulugang Taktak National Park, which was once a popular summer get-away is being restored to become again one of the city's primary attractions because it was devastated by a typhoon.
