Roughly speaking, a disinfectant and an antiseptic are the same thing in that both are used to kill germs and/or prevent their growth. In common usage, 'disinfectant' is more likely to be used to refer to a chemical used in cleaning, while 'antiseptic' is more likely to be used to refer to a chemical applied to the skin to kill germs, such as an alcohol wipe applied before giving an injection with a hypodermic needle.
Disinfectant and antiseptic are two words meaning the same thing.
