Anthony Richard Tonkin (born 17 January 1980) is an English retired footballer who played as a defender.

Born in Penzance, Cornwall,[1] Tonkin began his career at Mousehole and Falmouth Town, where he finished as runners-up to Truro City in the South Western League in the 1997–98 season.

[2] His success with Falmouth attracted Yeovil Town, who signed him up in 1998, where he made 95 appearances and scored one goal in three years at the club.

In 2002, he moved to Stockport County, where he spent a year before being transferred to Crewe Alexandra in August 2003 for a reported fee of £150,000.

However, the defender was released by Aldershot in February 2015, but was soon signed by Southern League side Frome Town initially until the end of the 2014–15 season.
