Antonio Juan Fargas (born August 14, 1946) is an American actor famous for roles in the 1970s.

Antonio Fargas, one of eleven children, was born in New York City to a Puerto Rican father and a Trinidadian mother. His father worked as a refuse collector.

After starring in a string of blaxploitation movies in the early '70s, he gained recognition (and is most widely recognized) as Huggy Bear in the mid-'70s television series Starsky and Hutch. Argentine band Babasónicos released a song in their 1998 B-sides album Vórtice Marxista called Antonio Fargas. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Antonio Fargas is Huggy Bear", in Spanish, and is meant to be homage to Antonio.

As a nod to his early roles, he also had a role in the blaxploitation spoof, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. He was in series 4 of the UK reality series I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! which began in November 2004. He recently played the part of Toledo in a revival of August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester (2006). He has a regular role as 'Doc' on Everybody Hates Chris.

Antonio Fargas also played the driver in the music video of Backstreet Boys hit "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)".

Fargas's son Justin plays professional football for the Oakland Raiders of the NFL.

A tall, lanky and twinkle-eyed African-American actor with wonderful onscreen charisma, Antonio Fargas has been appearing on stage and screen for nearly 40 years. His film debut was in Shirley Clarke (I)'s Cool World, The (1964), a gritty, uncompromising tale about African-American youth growing up in Harlem, New York. He then made his acting presence felt in many "blaxploitation" films of the early 1970s, including the classic Shaft (1971), the Mafia flick Across 110th Street (1972), the ultra-violent Pam Grier vehicle Foxy Brown (1974) and the classic tale of Huckleberry Finn (1975) (TV). Around this time ABC-TV executives were looking for a capable actor to play the role of golden-hearted street informant "Huggy Bear" on "Starsky and Hutch" (1975), and Fargas scored the role with which he is most closely identified. His career continued to flourish after "Starsky and Hutch" wrapped up after four years, and he has appeared in over 50 movies to date, many TV shows and numerous stage productions. He has played a 90-year-old witch doctor in "The Great White Hope", was in Melvin Van Peebles' "Ain't Supposed to Die a Natural Death", and appeared in productions of "The Rainmaker", "The Emperor Jones" and "Dream on Monkey Mountain". A strong advocate of the strength and diversity of African-American culture, Fargas holds positions on the boards of Rhode Island's Langton Hughes Center for the Arts and The Martin Luther King Center of Newport.
