Antonio Valeriano (c. 1531–1605) was a colonial Mexican Nahua scholar and politician. He was an assistant to fray Bernardino de Sahagún in the compilation of the Florentine Codex, and served as judge-governor both of his home, Azcapotzalco, and of Tenochtitlan.

The Nahuatl text known as "Nican Mopohua" has long been attributed to Valeriano, although it is unlikely that he actually wrote it. [Karttunen (1995): pp. 117–118]
