Anthony Condon (born 6 December 1967) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Hawthorn in the Australian Football League. He played for the club from 1987 to 1997.^[1]

Condon played in the 1989 and 1991 Grand Finals for the Hawks, winning both of them.^[2] An on-baller, Condon lined up against Paul Couch in the 1989 Grand Final and prevented the Brownlow winner from getting a touch for the first 18 minutes of play.^[3] He also represented Victoria twice in State of Origin matches.^[1]

Condon was known for his extraordinary stamina, great hardness on ball and his composure in high pressure situations.^[1] One of the more bizarre anecdotes of his career was when a dog ran onto the ground and he unsuccessfully tried to remove it, failing he tried to kick the dog and tore his hamstring in the process.^[1]
