Antonio Pietro Francesco Zucchi (May 1, 1726 – December 1, 1795) was an Italian painter and printmaker of the Neoclassic period. Born in Venice, he studied under his uncle Carlo Zucchi and later Francesco Fontebasso and Jacopo Amigoni. He married the painter Angelica Kauffman in 1781, who late in life moved with him to Rome. In Rome Zucchi produced a number of etchings of capriccio and veduta of classical buildings or ruins. He worked with Robert Adam in the decoration of houses in England, including Kenwood, Newby Hall, Osterley Park, Nostell Priory, and Luton House.
In 1756, he was elected to the membership of the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice. In England, he was elected as an associate to the Royal Academy of Arts in 1770. He died in Rome in 1776.
