Anthony Tupou (born 1 March 1983 in Newcastle, New South Wales) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who currently plays for the Newcastle Knights in the National Rugby League. An Australian international and New South Wales State of Origin representative, he plays at second-row and lock. He previously played for the Sydney Roosters and Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in the National Rugby League, and the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in the Super League.

Tupou made his first-grade debut in 2004 against the South Sydney Rabbitohs. In the September 2004 issue of Big League magazine, after making his debut with the Roosters, Tupou claimed that growing up his favourite player to watch was Queensland legend Mal Meninga. He also claimed that the biggest influence on his football was his father and his club coach Ricky Stuart. At the end of that season he played for the Roosters from the interchange bench in their 2004 NRL grand final loss to cross-Sydney rivals, the Bulldogs.

In 2005, Tupou made his representative début in the City vs Country Origin for the Country NSW team.
