Nizozemski Antili (Nederlandse Antillen, Antia Hulandes), zvani i Dutch Antilles su bili autonomna karipska zemlja u okviru Kraljevine Nizozemske, koji su se sastojali od dvije grupe otoka: Manjih Antila koji su u svom sastavu imali Arrubu, Bonaire i Curaçao (ABC otoci) i Leewardske Antille, ispred obale Venecuele: Saint Maarten, Saba, and Sint Eustatius (SSS otoci).
Aruba se 1986. godine otcjepljuje, ali ostaje unutar Kraljevine Nizozemske. 10. 10. 2010. nastaju dvije konstutivne zemlje Curaçao i Sint Maarten kao „specijalne teritorije“ unutar Nizozemske.



The Netherlands Antilles (Dutch: Nederlandse Antillen, Papiamentu: Antia Hulandes), also referred to informally as the Dutch Antilles, was an autonomous Carribbean country within the Kingdom of Netherlands, consisting of two groups of islands in the Lesser Antilles: Arruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao (ABC islands), in the Leeward Antilles just off the Venezuelan coast; and Saint Maarten, Saba, and Sint Eustatius (SSS islands) in the Leeward Islands southeast of the Virgin Islands.
Aruba seceded in 1986 as a separate country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the rest of the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved on 10 October 2010, resulting in two new constituent countries, Curaçao and Sint Maarten, with the other islands joining the Netherlands as "special municipalities", officially public bodies.
