Antonio Ciocci (d.1792) was a painter and engraver in Florence in the latter part of the 18th century. By 1770, he had become director of the Opificio delle Pietre Dure, a government department dedicated to the cutting of hard stone, which was an important source of revenue for Florence. He was responsible for the decoration of the Villa la Tana at Candeli and the ducal villa at Poggio Imperiale.
