Anthony Duclair (born August 26, 1995) is a Canadian ice hockey player currently with the Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL). Duclair was selected by the New York Rangers in the third round (80th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.

Duclair was born in Laval, Quebec and grew up in Pointe-Claire, Montreal, Quebec. He is of Haitian descent. His uncle Farell Duclair played in the Canadian Football League.

Duclair spent three seasons with the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). He scored an impressive 50 goals in 59 games during the 2013–14 QMJHL season. Duclair was rewarded for his outstanding play being named to the QMJHL First All-Star Team.

On January 2, 2014, Duclair was signed to a three-year entry-level contract with the New York Rangers. Duclair impressed the Rangers with his performance in the 2014–15 preseason, leading the team with 5 points in 5 games. On October 6, 2014, defenceman Steven Kampfer and centre Andrew Yogan were traded to the Florida Panthers for forward Joey Crabb, securing an opening-night roster position for Duclair.

On October 27, 2014, Duclair scored his first NHL goal against Darcy Kuemper of the Minnesota Wild. On January 6, 2015, Duclair was assigned to the Quebec Remparts for the remainder of 2014–15 season.
