Antanas Bagdonavičius (15 June 1938 – 9 March 2024) was a Lithuanian rower. He competed for the Soviet Union at the 1960, 1964 and 1968 Summer Olympics, winning a silver medal in the coxed pairs in 1960 (with Zigmas Jukna) finishing in fifth and third place in the eights in 1964 and 1968, respectively.[2] Between 1961 and 1967 he won three gold and four silver medals at European and world championships.[3]
In 1963, Bagdonavičius graduated from the Physics Department of the Vilnius State University. He retired from competitions around the late 1960s, and beginning in 1970 worked as a rowing coach, referee and functionary in Vilnius.[4] He was noted for his calm behavior in any stressful situation.[5]
