Franz Joseph Antony, born (1790) and died (1837) at Muenster, Westphalia, was a choral composer.

He received Holy Orders, and in 1819 became choirmaster at St. Paul's Cathedral in Muenster, succeeding his father as organist, in 1832. In addition to some songs, he published four choral masses. His erudite works are Archäologisch-liturgisches Gesangbuch des Gregorianischen Kirchengesanges (1829) and Geschichtliche Darstellung der Entstehung und Vervollkommnung der Orgel (1832).
