No, they don't; some penguin species live as far north as the Galapagos Islands. There are penguins off the coast of Australia, South Africa, South America, New Zealand and the Phillips Island, as well. They do exist mostly in the Antarctic because of continental drift. Antarctic fossils show that it was once situated further north and had a temperate climate. Penguins are descendants of birds from that time.
People also think that all penguin species live only in Antarctica but that's just a penguin myth.
Not all penguins live in Antarctica some live in Australia and New Zealand. They also live in the Galapagos Island.
Another Answer
No penguin lives in Antarctica, or on any land. Penguins are sea birds that only breed on land, and a few types breed on Antarctica's beaches. You can find penguin breeding grounds on New Zealand, Australia, South America and South Africa -- as well as on the Antarctic continent. All penguins 'live' at sea.
