Antonio Juan Fargas (born August 14, 1946 in New York City) is an American actor of Puerto Rican descent famous for roles in the 1970s.

After starring in a string of blaxploitation movies in the early '70s, he gained recognition (and is most widely recognized) as Huggy Bear in the mid-'70s television series Starsky and Hutch. As a nod to his early roles, he also had a role in the blaxploitation spoof, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. He was in the series I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! which began in November 2004.

Antonio's son Justin plays professional football for the Oakland Raiders of the NFL.
