Antioch is an unincorporated community in eastern Hillsborough County, Florida, United States, located on the east side of Lake Thonotosassa. It is partly within the Thonotosassa census-designated place.

History

As a community, Antioch dates to 1885. The community draws its name from the earliest church in the area, now known as the Antioch church of Christ. In the late 19th century the church served Baptists on the second and fourth Sundays and churches of Christ on the first and third.{{cite web| title=Hillsborough County Historic Resources Survey Report| url=http://www.hillsborough.communityatlas.usf.edu/upload/documents/HILLSBOROUGH_COUNTY_Historic_Resources_Excerpts_Antioch.pdf|accessdate=9 February 2015|date=October 1998}}
