Antoni Malet (born 23 February 1950) is a Spanish historian of mathematics. He is a professor of history of science at Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona.[1] His research interests are mostly in the history of mathematics and optics in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.[2]

Malet earned his Ph.D. in 1989 from Princeton University as a student of Charles Gillispie, with the thesis Studies on James Gregorie (1638–1675).[3]
