Anthony Lispenard Bleecker (June 13, 1741 – April 26, 1816) was a banker, merchant and auctioneer, and one of the richest men in New York.

[4] His brother was Major General Leonard Bleecker, a personal friend of George Washington, and one of the founders of the New York Stock Exchange, through the Buttonwood Agreement.

When General George Washington returned to Manhattan after the British evacuation in 1783, Bleecker was on the committee to officially welcome him back.

[9] Upon his own return to New York City, Bleecker started the family real estate and auctioning business.

[10] Bleecker was also involved in New York's historic Trinity Episcopal Church, situated across from Wall Street.

[13] That land would eventually become the present day Greenwich Village where Bleecker Street runs today.

[4][17] His will was proven on May 8, 1816, leaving everything to his wife Mary and mentioned sons James, Garrat and Anthony as executors.
