Antonio Campi (c. 1522 - 1587) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance.

He was born in Cremona. His style merges Lombard with Mannerist styles. In Cremona, his extended family were the main artisitic produce. Giulio Campi and Antonio were reportedly half-brothers, while Vicenzo Campi was a full brother. Bernardino Campi was a distant relative. All were active as painters.
