Tony Melrose is an Australian former professional rugby league player for Parramatta, South Sydney, Manly-Warringah and Eastern Suburbs in the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) competition. He primarily played in the centres or at five-eighth.

Melrose began his footballing career playing rugby union. He was captain of the Australian Schoolboys, played for Parramatta Two Blues and represented in six tests for the Wallabies as a five-eighth before switching to rugby league in 1980 at the age of twenty.

Melrose was selected to represent New South Wales as a winger for game II of the 1982 State of Origin series, scoring two goals from three attempts.
