Anthony Musgrave (9 July 1895 – 4 June 1959) was an Australian entomologist. Born in Queensland, Australia, he is known for penning Bibliography of Australian Entomology (1932). He was the great-nephew of Anthony Musgrave^[1][2] who was Secretary of State for the Colonies.

Anthony Musgrave was born 9 July 1895^[3] in Cooktown, Queensland, Australia.^[1] His father was Anthony Musgrave, a civil servant, and his mother was Elizabeth Anne (née Colles).^[1] He studied at the Hayfield Preparatory School in Homebush and the Sydney Church of England Grammar School.^[1]

As an entomologist, Musgrave is known for his 1932 work, Bibliography of Australian Entomology.^[4] He worked at the Australian Museum,^[5] initially as a librarian for a year,^[2] before climbing up the ranks to become Assistant Entomologist,^[6] and eventually the museum's entomologist,^[7] a title later changed to "Curator of Insects and Arachnids".^[8] He displayed much knowledge on insects^[9] and arachnids; his area of expertise were ticks and venomous spiders. Musgrave was compiler of all of the Australian Science Abstracts' animal-related articles for around twenty years, until in 1957 when the publication folded.^[2] He was also a contributor to the Australian Encyclopaedia (editions 1 and 2).^[2]

Musgrave was described as an "excellent lecturer and photographer".^[1] He led a luxurious and peaceful life and was an avid golfer.^[1] In his later years, little was heard about him; Musgrave did not like publicity.^[1] He died at the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney on 4 June 1959.^[1] The cause of death was listed as heart disease.^[1]
