Antonio Lorenzini (1655–1740) was an Italian painter and engraver of the Baroque, active in his native Bologna, as well as in Florence. He was also called the Frate Antonio (Brother Anthony). He was a pupil of Lorenzo Pasinelli. It is said that while engraving works in the church of San Francesco in Bologna, specifically the canvas by Pasinelli, where St Anthony of Padua liberates the soul of his father from Purgatory, Lorenzini was inspired to become a Franciscan.
