Arnold Buckinck or Bucking (fl. 1478) was a German book printer in Rome. He is remembered only for the completion and publication of Konrad Sweynheim's edition of Claudius Ptolemy's Cosmographia, a work Buckinck completed on October 10, 1478. This edition was one of the first to contain maps engraved in copper. These plates were used by Petrus de Turre for his 1490 edition of Cosmographia and again by Bernardino Vitali in 1507 and 1508.
