Antonio "Nino" Schembri (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈninu ˈʃẽbɾi]; born June 1, 1974 in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist.^[2] He is a former member of the Chute Boxe Academy and currently trains with the Black House Team.^{[citation needed]} He is called "Elvis" because of his long, chop-like sideburns. The highlight of his career came with his upset victory over Kazushi Sakuraba at PRIDE 25. Sakuraba was winning the fight^{[citation needed]} before Schembri landed a knee to Sakuraba's head, knocking him unconscious before eating multiple knees from the clinch followed by soccer kicks on the ground, knocking Sakuraba unconscious. Sakuraba would avenge the loss at PRIDE Critical Countdown 2004 with a decision win.

He is credited with innovative techniques, particularly variations of the omoplata. He invented the gogoplata, responsible for some of the most technically impressive submission finishes in MMA or jiu jitsu.

Today Nino Schembri teaches at his own gym located in Manhattan Beach, California.
