Antoine Gilis (6 April 1847 – 8 March 1914) was a Belgian musician and composer who composed mainly for the piano and violin. He believed that "above all, the student who starts out learning the piano, should have fun.".^[1] To accomplish this, his study pieces are very melodic and increase slowly in difficulty throughout the books as to "stimulate interest".^[1] Throughout his books, study pieces are accompanied by easy explanations of music theory.

Several books were published by A. Hammond & Co and Schott & Co around 1910, such as his famous "Méthode de Piano".
