Antonivka (, Antoniówka) is a village (selo) in Stryi Raion, Lviv Oblast, in western Ukraine. It belongs to Zhuravne settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.

History
Antonivka was mentioned as Jajkowce in the 16th century. The name is derived from the patronymic Polish name Jajko / Jejko, which jajko means egg, (Ukrainian: Яйце). Later, it was renamed Jajkowze (Яйковцӗ) or Jajkiwzi (Яйківці) in Ukrainian.

During the First Partition of Poland in 1772, the village became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg monarchy. In 1900, the Jajkowce parish had 84 houses with 548 inhabitants, of which 504 were Ruthenian speakers, 44 were Polish speakers, 485 were Greek-Catholics, 44 were Roman-Catholics, and 19 were Jews.

During World War II, Antonivka first belonged to the Soviet Union and from 1941 to the General Government, from 1945 again to the Ukrainian SSR. Shortly afterward, Most Poles left the village in 1946.
