Barrio San Antonio is a historic barrio located adjacent to and east of downtown Tucson, Arizona, United States.[1][2] It is bounded by Aviation Parkway, Arroyo Chico, South Kino Parkway, and South Park Avenue.[3] The barrio is named after San Antonio, or Anthony of Padua, the Portuguese saint. The neighborhood is a federal empowerment zone and is home to multiple downtown Tucson businesses.[4][5] A portion of the barrio was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2024.[6]
