Antagonyms
"Antagonym" is a word the author of this Web site "made up to describe a single word that has meanings that contradict each other." Example: "Cleave: To adhere tightly vs. To cut apart." He has a list of these words and also an explanation of how he derived the name for them (they are also known as "contronyms").
