Antigua and Barbuda's population density has exhibited a steady increase over the past six and a half decades, with a notable acceleration in recent years. At 214.32 people per square kilometer in 2025, the island nation ranks 63rd globally in terms of population density.

Antigua and Barbuda's population density is comparable to that of Nepal, which ranks 62nd globally, and significantly lower than that of Qatar, which ranks 4th.
