}}

Antonio Missaglia (1416/17–1495/96) was an Italian armourer.

Missaglia's last name was a nickname taken by the artist based on where he was born (Missaglia). The original family name was Negroni.{{cite journal |url=http://www.bta.it/txt/a0/03/bta00340.html |title=Armature e scudi nella pittura mediterranea del Quattrocento |language=it |access-date=7 November 2008 |first=Luisa |last=Nieddu |issn=1127-4883 |journal=Bollettino Telematico dell'Arte |date=10 September 2003 |issue=340}} Both Antonio and his brother Tommaso created armor by trade, primarily to nobles and knights in Milan. Some of Missaglia's pieces can be seen at the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
