Pietro Antonio Fiocco (or Pier Antonio or Pierre-Antoine) (February 3, 1654 - September 3, 1714) was an Italian Baroque composer.

Pietro Antonio Fiocco was born in Venice. Nothing is known of his childhood and his musical formation in Italy, but it is known that he soon made a name for himself, since the consul of Holland had him come to Amsterdam. In 1681 the booklet of Helena rapita da Paride appeared, for which Fiocco composed some parts. The same year he composed a prologue for Alceste by Jean-Baptiste Lully sung in Hanover. In the summer of 1682, he went to Brussels to enter to the service of prince Eugène-Alexandre of Thurn and Taxis. Named choirmaster of the church Notre-Dame des Victoires, Fiocco composed religious works, including masses and motets. He died in Brussels in 1714. He was the proud father of Melissa Amelia Fiocco. She died at the young age of 23, leaving her husband, Angelo Pertioniro and 3 children, Sabrina Pertioniro, Gabriella Pertioniro and Claudio Pertioniro.

His son Joseph-Hector Fiocco (1703-1741) was also a composer and violinist of note.
