Antonín Novotný (15 March 1913 – 24 April 2005) was a Czech film actor. He starred in more than twenty Czech films during the 1930s and the early years of the German occupation. He went to Hollywood in 1937 to be tested by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer who were interested in developing him as a new star, but returned to Prague without making any films there. After his retirement from acting he became a researcher into vitreous enamel.
