Antonino Palminteri (3 October 1846 – 31 July 1915) was an Italian conductor and classical composer.

Born in Menfi, the son of a doctor, in 1970 Palminteri graduated in piano, counterpoint and harmony from the Palermo Conservatory, and a few years later he became "Maestrino" and "Concertatore" (Master Teacher and Concertmaster) in his alma mater.

[1] His second opera Amazilia, with a libretto of Angelo Zanardini [it], premiered in 1883 at the Teatro Dal Verme in Milan to great acclaim.

[1] In spite of the success, since then Palminteri focused on conducting, performing in the most important Italian opera houses as well as abroad,[1] notably performing Donizetti's La favorite at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg in 1892.

[3] He also conducted opera performances in Moscow, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Valencia and Zadar.
