San Antonio de Pichincha, or simply San Antonio and less frequently by the older name San Antonio de Lulumpamba (alternate spelling: Lulumbamba), is a rural parish of Quito Canton, Pichincha Province, Ecuador. The seat of the parish lies in an arid plain with sandy soil known as Lulumpamba. The Quechua language name of the plain means plain of fruit(s).

To the west of the village there is an ethnographic museum near the equator in a touristic place known as Ciudad Mitad del Mundo and which is owned by the Prefecture of Pichincha.
