'''Antoine Dieu''' ({{IPA|fr|ɑ̃twan djø}}; ca. 1661–1727) was a French painter born in Paris. He was a son of Edouard Dieu, an [engraver](/source/engraving), who died in Paris in 1703. He was instructed by [Lebrun](/source/Charles_Le_Brun), and painted historical subjects and portraits in the style of his master. The ''Duke of Burgundy before the King'' and the ''Marriage of the Duke of Burgundy'' are in the [Museum at Versailles](/source/Palace_of_Versailles), but his best work is the portrait of ''Louis XIV. on his Throne'', which was engraved by Nicolas Arnoult. Dieu was received at the [Academy](/source/Acad%C3%A9mie_de_peinture_et_de_sculpture) in 1722, and died in Paris in 1727. His brothers, Jean Dieu and Jean Baptiste Dieu, were engravers; the former was born about 1658, and died in Paris in 1714.
