"para" is the right translation for "by" because it includes the date that is mentioned. "Antes de" doesn't include the date. I have heard "para tal fecha" used by native Spanish speakers hundreds of times in this context. Another way of saying it is "A más tardar, en el (fecha).

context pls

My comment:

Can you provide context please? it can be used as a preposition, an adverb, an adjective, a noun or a interjection. These, together with the context, will determine the meaning and the best equivalent.
