Anton Fils (born September 22, 1733 in Eichstätt (Germany); died March 14, 1760 in Mannheim) was a German classical composer.

In 1754, Fils became part of the "Mannheimer Hofkapelle" as a cellist. Even though he died at only 26 he left an extensive body of work, including 30 symphonies which he wrote for the Mannheimer Hofkapelle.

His music came to be mostly forgotten and is only recently rediscovered.
