The Antichrist (German: Der Antichrist) is a book by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, originally published in 1895.^[1]

Although the work was written in 1888, its content made Franz Overbeck and Heinrich Köselitz delay its publication, along with Ecce Homo.^[1] The German title can be translated into English as either The Anti-Christ or The Anti-Christian, depending on how the German word christ is translated.^[i]
