This article is about a 15th-century illuminated manuscript Bible. For the 16th-century polyglot Bible printed in Antwerp, see Plantin Polyglot

The Antwerp Bible is an early-15th-century illuminated manuscript Bible, preserved in the Plantin-Moretus Museum, Antwerp. Its illuminations are modeled on those in the Wenceslas Bible. The manuscript was probably produced for Conrad of Vechta, controller of the Royal Mint (1401-3) and later the Chancellor to Wenceslas IV of Bohemia. It was later acquired by Christopher Plantin.
