Antonio Bottazzi (died 1870) was an Italian painter, active in the 19th century in Lombardy.

He was born in Cremona studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, a contemporary of Pietro Bignami of Lodi. He painted portraits, historical and sacred subjects. He painted a Glory of the Virgin for the Lodi Cathedral.[1] He painted an altarpiece of the Assumption of the Virgin (1834) for the parish church of Roncadello.[2] He painted a duel of Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor, and the Gonfaloniere of Cremona, Giovanni Baldesio; the subject must have had subversive echoes at the time, given the occupation of Lombardy by Austrians.[3] Antonio frescoed the four Evangelists for the parish church of Castelleone.[4]
