Antoni Lange, (born c. 1861, Warsaw, Poland, Russian Empire [now in Poland]—died March 17, 1929, Warsaw), Polish poet, literary critic, and translator who was a pioneer of the Young Poland movement.

Lange studied linguistics, philosophy, and literature in Paris (1886–90), and shortly after his return to Warsaw he became one of the leading personalities in literary circles. His intellectual curiosity was unlimited, and he was one of the first to popularize Indian philosophy and literature in Poland. In his Studia z literatury francuskiej (1897; “Studies on French Literature”) he not only wrote about the French Parnassians and Symbolists but also made their works available to Polish readers in excellent translations. Lange’s own poems did not win him recognition, and the last phase of his life was poisoned by feelings of bitterness.
