Anton Furst (May 6, 1944 as Anthony Francis Furst - November 24, 1991) was a distinguished production designer who won an Oscar for designing the Batmobile and the noirish nightmare version of Gotham City in Tim Burton's Batman (1989).

Trained at the Royal College of Art, London, he gained high praise for his work on Neil Jordan's The Company of Wolves (1984). Furst went on to create convincing Vietnam War settings, without leaving England, for Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (1987), and in 1991 designed the themes for the Planet Hollywood restaurant in New York. His final credited film was Awakenings (1990).

He had dated Beverly D'Angelo and after they broke up Furst committed suicide in 1991.
