Don Antonio Francisco Coronel (October 21, 1817 – April 17, 1894) was a Californio politician and ranchero who was Mayor of Los Angeles and California State Treasurer. Coronel was considered one of the first preservationists in Los Angeles,[1] and his private collection formed the basis of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.[2]

During the Mexican–American War in 1846–47, Antonio was a captain and sergeant-at-arms in the Mexican artillery and took part in military operations against the United States.

He was the California State Treasurer from 1867 to 1871. In 1873, Coronel married Mariana Williamson.[5]
