Antonis Fostieris ( _el. Αντώνης Φωστιέρης) (b. Athens 1953) is a Greek poet. He read Law at the University of Athens and History of Law at Sorbonne, Paris. Since 1981, he has co-edited along with Thanassis Niarchos the prestigious literary periodical "Η λέξη".

Fostieris belongs to the so-called Genia tou 70, which is a literary term referring to Greek authors who began publishing their work during the 1970s, especially towards the end of the Greek military junta of 1967-1974 and at the first years of the Metapolitefsi.
