Antonio Rotta (28 February 1828 – 10/11 September 1903) was an Italian painter, mainly of genre subjects.

Rotta was born on 28 February 1828 in Gorizia in the Kingdom of Illyria, which was part of the Austrian Empire.

He enrolled at the Accademia Reale di Belle Arti of Venice, where he studied under Ludovico Lipparini.

His early genre paintings of Venetian scenes were followed by a number of religious and history paintings, among them Tiziano istruisce Irene di Spilimbergo ("Titian teaching Irene of Spilimberg").
