Anton Elter (5 March 1858, Rosbach an der Sieg – 5 November 1925, Bonn) was a German classical philologist.

He studied philology at the universities of Münster and Bonn, receiving his PhD in 1880 with a dissertation on the Greek anthologist Stobaeus. Following graduation, he spent several years in Rome, where he worked as a private tutor to the son of Onorato Caetani of Sermoneta. In 1887 he became an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Czernowitz, then returning to Bonn as an associate professor of classical philology in 1890,[1] where two years later, he gained a full professorship and was named director of philosophical seminars.[2]
