Antonio Prieto (1912 – March 11, 1967) was an American ceramic artist and art professor at Mills College in Oakland, California.

While teaching at Mills College from 1950 to 1967, Prieto compiled a personal collection of ceramic art, including works by Robert Arneson, Viola Frey, Henry Varnum Poor, Peter Voulkos, and Marguerite Wildenhain.

[3] An Antonio Prieto Gallery was created adjacent to the Tea Shop at Mills, and the collection was exhibited there for several years.

In 2004, Prieto sons, Esteban, Mark, Peter, and Paco Prieto, and his widow Eunice Damron donated his papers to the Archives of American Art as part of the Nanette L. Laitman Documentation Project for Craft and Decorative Arts in America.

[4] Robert Arneson studied with Prieto and mentioned him numerous times in his oral history interview in the Archives of American Art.
