Anthony F. LoCoco is an American attorney and jurist serving as a judge on the Wisconsin Court of Appeals in District II. He was elected to the bench in April 2026 and took office on August 1, 2026. He previously specialized in appellate law and constitutional litigation.

LoCoco attended the University of Dallas, graduating in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts summa cum laude in economics. He then attended Harvard Law School, where he earned his Juris Doctor. During his time at Harvard, he completed internships at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, the Milwaukee County Circuit Court, the Massachusetts Land Court, and private law firm Sidley Austin LLP.

After completing law school, LoCoco returned to Wisconsin and served for two terms as a judicial law clerk to Justice (now Chief Justice) Annette Ziegler of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. He then entered private practice as a business lawyer at Foley & Lardner LLP.

LoCoco later transitioned into public interest constitutional law. He spent over five years working as deputy counsel for the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL), a conservative high-profile litigation firm based in Milwaukee, where he litigated cases involving individual liberties and the rule of law. Following his time at WILL, he served as Chief Legal Counsel and Director of Oversight at the Institute for Reforming Government (IRG).

LoCoco has also been heavily involved in professional civic organizations, including serving as an officer for the Milwaukee Chapter of The Federalist Society.

In April 2025, LoCoco announced his candidacy for the Wisconsin Court of Appeals District II seat to succeed retiring judge Lisa Neubauer. His campaign launched with major endorsements from constitutional conservative jurists on the state's highest court, including Chief Justice Annette Ziegler and Justice Rebecca Bradley.

Running unopposed in the nonpartisan general election on April 7, 2026, LoCoco won a full six-year term. He assumed office on August 1, 2026, with a term running through July 31, 2032.

LoCoco lives in Elm Grove, Wisconsin, with his wife, Angela, whom he met while attending the University of Dallas, and their four children.
