Anthony John Sealy (born Hackney, London May 7, 1959) was a footballer in the 1970s and 1980s.

Sealy played for many clubs, including Southampton, Crystal Palace, QPR, Fulham and Leicester City . When at Southampton, he appeared as a substitute in the 1979 League Cup final. He was the second black player to play for Southampton after Alf Charles in 1937.

Tony made his QPR debut in the 3-1 win over Derby County in March 1981 and went on to play 63 league games, scoring 18 goals. He was lightning fast, and his best season came in QPR's promotion year of 1982-83 when he was top scorer (quite a feat when the like of Clive Allen and Simon Stainrod were in the team as well). He won 4 Championship medals with 4 different clubs. He then left the UK and played for Sporting Clube de Portugal, Sporting Braga , Michelotti F.C (Hong Kong) and Eastern AA in Hong Kong. He then became Manager of Hong Kong FC until 2002, when he was promoted to Operations Manager.
