'''Sint Anthonis''' ({{IPA|nl|ˈsɪnt ɑnˈtoːnɪs|-|221 Sint Antonis.ogg}}) is a village and former municipality in the southern [[Netherlands]] in the Province of [[North Brabant]]. The locals refer to the town as ''Sint Tunnis''. An inhabitant is called a "Sintunnisenaar". The former municipality had a population of {{formatnum:{{Dutch municipality population|Sint Anthonis}}}} in {{YEAR|{{Dutch municipality population|popbaseyear}}}}. Sint Anthonis, [[Boxmeer]], [[Cuijk (municipality)|Cuijk]], [[Grave, Netherlands|Grave]], and [[Mill en Sint Hubert]] merged into the new municipality of [[Land van Cuijk]] on 1 January 2022.

== History ==
The town was mentioned in a last will as early as 1312. The town was called ''Oelbroec'' at the time. As the church of [[St. Anthony The Abbot]] was completed in 1477, people started referring to the town as the "Parish of St. Anthony in Oelbroec", and by 1570 the name Oelbroec had disappeared. Church Book registration started in 1640 and are to be found on the BHIC web site.

Sint Anthonis was a part of the lordship of Boxmeer during the ancien régime. After the French rule, Sint Anthonis was parted from Boxmeer. Together with the village of Ledeacker it formed the municipality of "Sint Anthonis en Ledeacker". In 1821 [[Oploo]] joined this municipality, now called "Oploo, Sint Anthonis en Ledeacker". In 1913 this municipality had 1769 inhabitants, of which 906 men and 863 women, and of which 965 lived in the village of Sint Anthonis. The surface of the municipality existed of 3818 ha (with 46,33 inhabitants per km²).

On 1 January 1994 the municipality of [[Wanroij]] fused with the municipality of [[Oploo, Sint Anthonis en Ledeacker]] into the new municipality of Sint Anthonis. On 4 July 1994 also the name of the village was changed: ''St. Anthonis'' became ''Sint Anthonis''.
