Metropolitan Antonije, (born Antonije Abramović, Montenegrin Cyrillic: Антоније Абрамовић, 31 October 1919—1996) was the first Metropolitan of the uncanonical Montenegrin Orthodox Church and self-proclaimed Metropolitan of Montenegro.

He was a candidate for the position of Metropolitan of the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral in 1961. After that, he was picked to be a cleric of the Russian Orthodox Church in Canada.

He was elected the Metropolitan of the just gathered See of the new Montenegrin Orthodox Church by traditional acclamation on October 3 1993 in Cetinje. Before that, he served as a priest for Orthodox Church in America in Canada. He died in 1996 and was succeeded by Miraš Dedeić.
