Antique (Korean: 서양 골동 양과자점 앤티크; RR: Seoyangkoldong Yangkwajajeom Aentikeu) is a 2008 South Korean comedy–thriller film, starring Ju Ji-hoon, Kim Jae-wook, Yoo Ah-in and Choi Ji-ho. It is based on the comic Antique Bakery by Fumi Yoshinaga.[2] It was released in cinemas in South Korea on November 13, 2008.

It was invited to the 59th Berlin International Film Festival.[3] It was released on DVD in the UK on February 11, 2013, as Antique Bakery,[4] though its official English title in South Korea, and which it was promoted as at festivals internationally, is just Antique.
