Antonije Arnojev Arnot (22 July 1808 in Szeged[1] – 23 September 1841 in Budapest[2]) was a Serbian educational theorist and reformer.

He was a lawyer by profession who also worked as a translator, writer, publisher, publicist, and professor at lyceums in both Kragujevac and in Belgrade.

[1] He co-authored the "Matica Srpska Chronicle" (1831-1834), where he published poetry and prose, original and translated poems, epitaphs, epigrams, sentiments, fables, short stories, as well as articles on history, philosophy, and the natural sciences.

Then, his colleague Atanasije Nikolić from university days convinced him to leave Pest and move to Serbia in early 1839.

There he was appointed professor at the Lyceum of the Principality of Serbia in Kragujevac where he taught physics and other subjects for a semester.
