Antiochia ad Maeandrum was a city of ancient Caria, in Anatolia. The city was situated between the Maeander and Orsinus rivers near their confluence.
Though it was the site of a bridge over the Maeander, it had little or no individual history. The city already existed when Antiochus I enlarged and renamed it. It was home to the sophist Diotrephes.
It has not been excavated.
