Antonius Rast's Fechtbuch (or Reichsstadt "Schätze" Nr. 82) is a German fencing manual begun by Antonius Rast in the 1540s.^{[citation needed]} Rast's notes were acquired by Paulus Hector Mair after the master's death in 1549, and he produced a completed version around 1553. It currently rests in the Stadtarchiv Augsburg in Augsburg, Germany. The text redacts both the Anonymous Gloss of Johannes Liechtenauer's verse and the teachings of the so-called Nuremberg Group; Rast's entry adds additional detail to the Nuremberg material, and makes a number of clarifying changes. This manuscript was one of the sources used by Paulus Hector Mair in compiling his own fencing manual later in the decade.

Rast's original manuscript, on which Mair based this work, is currently lost.
