Antonia Matos (21 November 1902 – 22 June 1994) was a Guatemalan painter. Her work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics in which she submitted the oil painting "La Carrera de Piraguas".[1] She is most well known for her nude paintings.[2]

She studied painting at the private academy of Justo de Gandarias and Agustin Iriarte between 1916 and 1917, and was among the first registered to the National Academy of Painting, founded in 1920.[3] She spent a considerable amount of her life in Paris, where she came into contact with many notable figures in the art world of the early 1900s, as well as participating in art exhibitions such as the Salon des Tuilleries, the Salon de la Sociente des Artistes Francais in 1928, and the Exposition of the Societe des Artistes Independants in 1930.[3]
