Antenor Patiño Rodríguez (Oruro, Bolivia, 12 October 1896 – New York City, 2 February 1982) was a Bolivian tycoon, heir to his father Simón I. Patiño, called "the King of Tin".

In 1947, he made a successful effort to rid his company of organized labor. The Bolivian Revolution of 1952 nationalised Patiño's mines and it is claimed that his heir Antenor Patiño had his hand in the military coup that deposed the leader of the revolution, then President Víctor Paz Estenssoro, in the 1960s.

With his fortune, amongst other things, he developed tourist destinations like Las Hadas, in Manzanillo, Mexico, (where the movie 10 starring actress Bo Derek was filmed) and Las Alamandas in Jalisco state, also in Mexico.
