Antonije "Anta" Protić (1787 in Smederevo, Ottoman Empire – 9 December 1854 in Smederevo, Principality of Serbia) was a writer and secretary to the Duke of Smederevo, Vujica Vulićević, in 1807 during Serbia's plight for emancipation from the Ottoman yoke. Later, he was an Assembly Deputy of Karađorđe in his Governing State Council with scholar Vuk Karadžić. After the Second Serbian Uprising, he was a trustee of finances for the Government of Prince Miloš Obrenović. His memoir is now considered one of four primary sources for Serbia's first and second war of independence.
Anta Protić was popularly known as Ćir-Anta or Kir-Anta, because of his learning and lordship.
