Antarctic Bay (Danish: Antarctic Bugt) is a bay in the Greenland Sea coast of the Crown Prince Christian Land peninsula, King Frederick VIII Land, Northeastern Greenland.^[1] Administratively the bay and its surroundings belong to the Northeast Greenland National Park.

The area of the bay is uninhabited.

The bay was named by the 1906-1908 Denmark expedition after Alfred Gabriel Nathorst's ship Antarctic.^[2]

Antarctic Bay opens to the Fram Strait of the Greenland Sea. It lies between Amdrup Land to the west and the Flade Isblink ice cap to the north. It is a fairly wide bay, with the Nordostrundingen about 50 km (31 mi) to the northeast of its unnamed northeastern point. Sophus Müller Naes is the southwestern point of the bay.^[3] Kilen lies just a few km north of the ice-covered head and northeastern shore of the bay.^[4] The waters of bay are clogged by fast ice the year round.
