Anton Blok (15 February 1935 – 24 June 2024) was a Dutch anthropologist, famous for studying the Mafia in Sicily in 1960s.
From 1973 until 1986, he served as full professor of cultural anthropology at Radboud University, Nijmegen.
He then accepted a chair at the University of Amsterdam, where he remained until his retirement.
For that occasion, thirty of his international colleagues and former students contributed essays in his honor, an edited volume titled as Miniature Etnografiche (SUN, 2000).
Later a professor emeritus at U Amsterdam, Dr. Blok also spent one semester at Yale as a fellow.
