Anthony Gigliotti (May 13, 1922 – December 3, 2001) was an American clarinetist and music teacher. He was one of the world's most famous and most accomplished classical clarinet players for most of the second half of the 20th century.[1]

Gigliotti grew up in South Philadelphia and lived in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. He joined the Philadelphia Orchestra as its principal clarinetist in 1949 and continued in this position for 47 years. He was the designer of a unique clarinet and saxophone ligature that is named for him.[1]

Gigliotti died on December 3, 2001 at a hospital in Camden, New Jersey.
