Antilope is a genus of twisted-horn bovid that contains a single living species, the blackbuck of South Asia. Two extinct species are also known.{{cite journal |last1=Khan |first1=M.A. |last2=Akhtar |first2=M. |title=Antelopes (Mammalia, Ruminantia, Bovidae) from the Upper Siwaliks of Tatrot, Pakistan, with description of a new species |journal=Paleontological Journal |date=2014 |volume=48 |issue=1 |pages=79–89 |doi=10.1134/S0031030114010055 |s2cid=84227895 |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263526601}}

Many fossil antelopes were included in this genus, but have since been placed in new genera; for example the species formerly known as Antilope planicornis is now placed in its own genus, Nisidorcas.{{cite journal |last1=Geraads |first1=Denis |last2=Güleç |first2=Erksin |title=On some spiral-horned antelopes (Mammalia: Artiodactyla: Bovidae) from the upper Miocene of Turkey, with remarks on their distribution |journal=Paläontologische Zeitschrift |date=1999 |volume=73 |issue=3/4 |pages=403–409 |doi=10.1007/BF02988051 |s2cid=59452032 |url=http://doc.rero.ch/record/13318/files/PAL_E51.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230207203239/https://doc.rero.ch/record/13318/files/PAL_E51.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 7, 2023 }}
