Anthony Barton Goble (20 October 1943 – 13 April 2007) was a Welsh artist.
Anthony Barton Goble was born on 20 October 1943[1] in Newtown, Montgomeryshire into a wealthy family. His father's death when he was a baby resulted in him spending his early years in the care of a Welsh-speaking family. He was later reunited with his mother and elder sisters, who had moved to Llandudno.
He was educated at St Mary's College, Rhos-on-Sea, and Wrexham College of Art.

Goble became a member of the Royal Cambrian Academy in 1977, before taking on a residency at Llanover Hall arts centre in Cardiff in 1979. His work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts and the National Portrait Gallery, London as well as a 25-year retrospective at Llanover Hall in 2004.[2]

Works by Goble are exhibited in the collections at the National Museum of Wales, Leeds Museum, the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery and the Contemporary Art Society for Wales.[1]
