Like many other low- and middle-income countries, Bangladesh experiences a disproportionately higher number of maternal and neonatal deaths compared to high-income countries. Despite this, a majority of pregnant women in Bangladesh do not receive appropriate antenatal care (ANC). We investigated the disparities, distribution, and determinants of the timing, number, and quality of ANC in this country. This cross-sectional study analyzed Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2017–18 data on ever-married reproductive-age (i.e., 15-49-year-olds) women. After describing the study sample and proportions, multilevel logistic regression was applied to study determinants. The prevalence and odds of the studied outcomes were higher among women with higher parity, a higher education level, more highly educated husbands, urban residence, and residence in some administrative divisions (p
