The '''Antigonid dynasty''' was a dynasty of [[Hellenistic]] kings descended from [[Alexander the Great|Alexander the Great's]] general [[Antigonus I Monophthalmus]] ("the One-eyed"). Succeeding the [[Antipatrid dynasty]] in much of Macedonia, Antigonus ruled mostly over Asia Minor and northern Syria. His attempts to take control of the whole of Alexander's empire led to his defeat and death at the [[Battle of Ipsus]] in [[301 BC]]. Antigonus's son [[Demetrius I Poliorcetes]] survived the battle, and managed to seize control of [[Macedon]] itself a few years later, but eventually lost his throne, dying in prison. After a period of confusion, Demetrius's son [[Antigonus II Gonatas]] was able to establish the family's control over the old Kingdom of Macedon, as well as over most of the Greek city-states, by [[276 BC]].

It was one of three empires formed by Alexander's generals, the others being the [[Seleucid dynasty]] and [[Ptolemaic dynasty]]. The dynasty ended with the [[Roman empire|Roman]] domination of the area after the [[Battle of Pydna]] in [[168 BC]].

The members of the Antingonid dynasty were:
*[[Antigonus I Monophthalmus]]
*[[Demetrius I Poliorcetes]] ([[294 BC]]-[[287 BC]])
*[[Antigonus II Gonatas]] ([[276 BC]]-[[239 BC]])
*[[Demetrius II of Macedon|Demetrius II]] (239 BC-[[229 BC]])
*[[Antigonus III Doson]] (229 BC - [[221 BC]])
*[[Philip V of Macedon|Philip V]] (221 BC-[[179 BC]])
*[[Perseus of Macedon|Perseus]] (179 BC-[[168 BC]])

[[Andriscus]] claimed to be the son of Perseus.
