Antioch is a suburb of Nashville, Tennessee, located in the southern part of Davidson County. It is not autonomous, and is governed by the Nashville-Davidson metropolitan government. A 2005 census estimates the city's population at 62,320.

The presence of large quantities of affordable housing led to an influx of young families with children, greatly overtaxing the area's schools, which have been overcrowded for decades and remain so, despite an extensive construction program and the development of some private schools, largely church-affiliated. Large numbers of recent immigrants have also come to Antioch in the last two decades, attracted initially by the affordable housing and also by the presence of immigrant communities.

The most important business concentration in Antioch is Hickory Hollow Mall, which opened in 1978 and has been renovated and expanded on several occasions since. It is a typical suburban shopping mall with large "anchor" stores such as Sears, Macys, and Dillards and of course many more smaller interior shops. A Walmart Supercenter, and many new shopping strip malls have also opened in the area attracting large-scale home builders such as Beazer and Centex Homes to construct many new subdivisions.
