Antti Eerikki Peippo (10 September 1934 – 29 June 1989) was a Finnish cinematographer, director, set designer, screenwriter and actor. He was the cinematographer in all but one of director Risto Jarva's films. After Jarva died in 1977, Peippo continued to work in other productions of Jarva's production company Filminor.[1]

Peippo's only feature film direction was the science fiction comedy Ihmemies (1979). After that he worked mostly making personal, essay-like short films and documentaries until his death of cancer in 1989.[2] Peippo received a Jussi Award in 1972 for his short film Viapori – Suomenlinna. His most highly acclaimed work is the autobiographical childhood memoir Proxy (Sijainen) (1989).[3]
