No — Antigua and Barbuda uses the same plug shape as the US, so a standard US plug fits without an adapter.
Antigua and Barbuda runs on 230V at 60Hz, notably different from the US standard of 120V — check that your device is rated for this voltage before plugging in directly.
Most modern electronics (phone and laptop chargers) are dual-voltage (100-240V) and only need a plug adapter, not a converter. Single-voltage, high-wattage devices like hair dryers or straighteners may need an actual voltage converter — check the label near the plug prongs for the input voltage range.
