Antal Kagerbauer , (Abrudbánya, 1814. July 5. – Torda, 1872. October 8.) was the most significant romantic architect in Cluj during the mid nineteenth century.

Kagerbauer studied under Gyorgy Winkler in Cluj and then became his associate. After Winkler's death, Kagerbauer completed the St. George housing district (1834-36) and also the 'double barelled' refomed church. Kagerbauer's design for a new city hall, built to replace the old one which was burnt down, was realised with some alterations in 1841. He also designed the church of St. Peter which was built between 1844 and 1846. He worked on various castles in the area also: the Banffy castle and marosujvari castle. The theatre building on Farkas street was also his work. Significantly, he planned the city's water system in 1858.
