Giacomo Antonio Acquaviva was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Nardò (1521-1532).

Giacomo Antonio Acquaviva was the son of Italian nobleman Belisario Acquaviva. On 20 Feb 1521, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Leo X as Bishop of Nardò. Although he served as bishop, he never was officially installed nor was he consecrated; the story was that, although a pious man, he had an affair early in his bishophric and the church allowed him to continue in his position due to the influence of his father but refused to consecrate him. He served as Bishop of Nardò until his resignation in 1532 at the insistence of his father after his affair was publicly revealed. He fled to Naples with his lover and died several years later. His brother, Giovanni Battista Acquaviva, was appointed as Bishop of Nardò 4 years later.
