Saint Antoninus of Piacenza (or Placentia) (died AD 303), also known as Antoninus Placentinus, is a patron saint of Piacenza in Italy. He is venerated as a saint and martyr in the Roman Catholic Church, with a feast day of 30 September.
The saint was said to have been martyred at Piacenza or Travo, in the AD 303 Diocletianic Persecution. He appears in Victricius' De Laude Sanctorum of the same century, and the somewhat later Martyrologium Hieronymianum.
