Danny Antonucci (/ˌæntəˈnuːtʃi/,^[1] Italian: [antoˈnuttʃi]; born February 27, 1957) is a Canadian animator, director, producer, and writer. He created the Cartoon Network animated comedy series Ed, Edd n Eddy as well as Lupo the Butcher and The Brothers Grunt for MTV.

Antonucci dropped out of the Sheridan College of Visual Arts to take a job as an animator at Hanna-Barbera, and worked on a number of series: The Flintstone Comedy Show, Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, The Smurfs, and Richie Rich. He continued his career in Vancouver, working on animated shorts and television commercials at International Rocketship Limited, where he created his first solo work, Lupo the Butcher. For MTV, Antonucci made a number of bumpers, his series The Brothers Grunt, and the title sequence to animation showcase program Cartoon Sushi. He went on to create Ed, Edd n Eddy on Cartoon Network.

Many of his commercials for Converse, ESPN and Levi's won a number of awards, which he keeps in a trash can by his desk. Lupo the Butcher was a successful short and is considered to be a cult classic.
