Antony Santos is a bachata musician from the Dominican Republic, renowned for his role in redefining the genre to include romantic music.

He entered onto the scene in the early 1990s, being the first rural bachatero to reach a mainstream audience with his hit "Voy pa'llá", shortly after Blas Durán had introduced the electric guitar into the genre. Santos' adoption of soft romantic lyrics was more socially accepted than the bawdy style common to bachata before him, and he shortly became the genre's leading artist, helping move bachata into the mainstream.

Santos is currently the best paid bachatero in the Dominican Republic. He held a concert at Puerto Rico's Roberto Clemente Coliseum on May 12, 2007, and is said to have been paid an unprecedented US$90,000 for this one presentation alone.
