Antimony (₅₁Sb) occurs in two stable isotopes, ¹²¹Sb and ¹²³Sb. There are 37 artificial radioactive isotopes, the longest-lived of which are ¹²⁵Sb, with a half-life of 2.75856 years; ¹²⁴Sb, with half-life 60.2 days; and ¹²⁶Sb, with half-life 12.35 days. All other isotopes have half-lives less than 4 days, most less than an hour. There are also many isomers, the longest-lived of which is ^120m1Sb with half-life 5.76 days.

Except for beryllium, antimony is the lightest element observed to have isotopes capable of alpha decay; ¹⁰⁴Sb is seen to undergo this mode of decay. Some light elements, namely those near ⁸Be, have isotopes with delayed alpha emission (following proton or beta emission) as a rare branch.
