Antonio Maria Bononcini – brother of Giovanni - (born Modena, 18 June 1677; died there, 8 July 1726), composer and cellist, worked with the brother, Giovanni Bononcini, in Bologna, Rome and Vienna, where in 1705 -11 he wrote dramatic works as Kapellmeister to the emperor's brother Charles.

Returning to Italy in 1713, he lived mainly in Modena, where he became maestro di cappella in 1721.

His compositions, including some 20 stage works, 40 solo cantatas and several sacred works, are more sophisticated than Giovanni's in texture and harmony but were less successful.
