Anthony 'Tony' Antrobus (born 8 April 1962) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for North Adelaide in the SANFL and had stints with Essendon and St Kilda in the VFL. He was commonly referred to by his nickname of 'The Ant'.

A forward with considerable speed and goal sense, Antrobus first played for North Adelaide in 1981 and in each of the three games of his debut season was judged to be best afield in the Magarey Medal voting. He won the award in 1983, becoming the tenth North Adelaide player to achieve the most sought after individual award in the SANFL. He was lured to Victoria in 1987 to join Essendon but niggling injuries kept his appearances limited, playing 22 games over four seasons. St Kilda picked him up in 1991 but the following year he decided to return to his home state for one last season.

Antrobus was named in the forward pocket in the official North Adelaide 'Team of the Century'.
