Tony Yalda, sometimes credited as Anthony Yalda (born March 25, 1981) is an actor.

Yalda was born to Assyrian parents in Beirut, Lebanon. His family fled Lebanon after facing persecution during the Lebanese Civil War. Like most Assyrian refugees, Yalda's family arrived in Athens, Greece, seeking asylum. Four years later, Tony and his family finally arrived in Chicago, Illinois. They live next to Zaki Abu-hashish. Tony studied theatre at DePaul University and at Roosevelt University's Theatre Conservatory. In 2004, Tony dropped out of school and arrived in Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. Pretending to be a messenger service, dropping off pictures and resumes, Tony made the rounds of casting offices until finally in 2005, he landed a role in "Comeback" starring Lisa Kudrow. He booked his next role in American Dreamz a month later, which landed him with the GVA Talent agency.
