Antonin Proust by Auguste Rodin is a notable sculpture created by the French artist Auguste Rodin, who is widely regarded as one of the progenitors of modern sculpture. The work is a portrait bust that commemorates Antonin Proust (1832–1905), a French journalist, politician, and art lover, who was also a close friend of Rodin. Proust is perhaps best known for his role as the Minister of Fine Arts in France and for his efforts in promoting the arts and artists of his time.

Rodin, renowned for his expressive and often non-traditional representations of the human form, sculpted the bust of Antonin Proust with an attention to psychological depth and character, which was characteristic of his approach to portraiture. The sculpture captures not only the physical likeness of Proust but also conveys a sense of his personality and stature within the cultural milieu of late 19th-century France.

The bust of Antonin Proust is an example of Rodin's mature work, where he employed his mastery of texture and light to imbue his subjects with a sense of vitality and presence. The surface of the sculpture is worked in a way that suggests movement and life, a hallmark of Rodin's technique, which often involved leaving parts of the sculpture seemingly unfinished to create a dynamic interplay between form and space.

The exact date of the sculpture's creation is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been produced during the period when Rodin was also working on other significant commissions, such as The Burghers of Calais and The Gates of Hell. The Antonin Proust bust is held in various art collections, including casts in several museums, reflecting its importance as a work of art and its role in documenting the cultural figures of Rodin's era.

As a significant work by Auguste Rodin, the bust of Antonin Proust is an important piece within the oeuvre of the artist and serves as a testament to his enduring friendship with Proust and his contribution to the arts. It remains an object of study for those interested in Rodin's portraiture, the history of sculpture, and the cultural history of France.
