Anton Räderscheidt (11 October 1892 – 8 March 1970) was a German painter who was a leading figure of the New Objectivity.
After the war he returned to Cologne, where in 1919 he cofounded the artists' group Stupid with other members of the local constructivist and Dada scene.

A pervasive theme is the incompatibility of the sexes, according to the art historian Dennis Crockett.
In 1949 he returned to Cologne and resumed his work, producing many paintings of horses shortly before adopting an abstract style in 1957.
