Antonio Félix Lozano González (Arenas de San Pedro, November 20, 1853 - Zaragoza, June 4, 1908) was a Spanish composer and musicologist.
He began his musical studies at the Diocesan Seminary of Ávila, where he learned music theory and piano. He furthered his studies with Juan Arribas, organist of the Ávila Cathedral, and later with Cosme J. de Benito, choirmaster at El Escorial. He served as choirmaster in Salamanca (1878-1883).
He won the mastership of the Basilica of El Pilar in Zaragoza by competitive examination in 1883, succeeding Hilario Prádanos, who had decided to resign from his position to return to Valladolid. In Zaragoza, he became involved in cultural life, editing the monthly magazine Repertorio Sacro Musical, which ran to forty-seven issues and featured writing by renowned musicians such as Miguel Arnaudas, Ramón Borobia Cetina, and Elías Villarreal. He also participated in the creation of the School of Music, which opened its doors in 1890, on San Jorge Street, in the Patio de la Infanta. He had a long and productive collaboration and friendship with the musicologist and composer Felipe Pedrell, who wrote the prologue to his dissertation. His educational work produced important musicians, such as the organist of La Seo, Babil Belsué; the chapel master of La Seo, Miguel Arnaudas; Pedro Retana; and Eduardo Viscasillas.
