Antigone of Troy is a minor figure in Greek mythology. She is the daughter of the Trojan king Laomedon and the sister of Priam.

Antigone claimed that her hair was more beautiful than that of the goddess Hera. Hera, who was angered by that claim, turned Antigone's hair into snakes. Later, another god, pitying her, turned her into a stork. Thereafter the stork preyed on snakes.
