Giovanni Antonio Viscardi (* 27. december 1645 in San Vittore; † 9. september 1713 in Munich) was an Swiss architect of the baroque, who worked mostly in Bavaria.
G. Antonio Viscadi descended from a family which provided several architects who had worked in Bavaria, Styria and Mainz. He started his career as a Superintendent to Enrico Zuccalli before 1675. Dismissed in 1689 Viscardi worked as an independent architect until he became Zuccalli's successor as chief architect of the Bavarain court in 1706 with the Austrian occupation of Bavaria.
