Antonio Calderón Burgos (born 2 June 1967) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as an attacking midfielder, and the current manager of CF Fuenlabrada.

Over the course of eight seasons, he amassed La Liga totals of 215 games and 18 goals, for Cádiz, Mallorca and Rayo Vallecano. He also played more than 200 matches in Segunda División, in a professional career which lasted 18 years and ended in Scotland.

In the 2000s, Calderón started a manager career, working in both countries and with several teams.

Born in Cádiz, Andalusia, Calderón made his senior – and La Liga – debuts with hometown's Cádiz CF, during the 1986–87 season. In 1989, he signed with RCD Mallorca also in the top division, playing there two years.

Calderón then joined Madrid's Rayo Vallecano, helping the team promote from the second level in his debut campaign, with a career-best nine goals in 36 games. During his spell with the club, he would experience one relegation and another promotion; he finished his career in Spain with UE Lleida, playing four division two seasons as an undisputed starter, and going on to amass totals of 416 matches and 49 goals the two major tiers of Spanish football combined.

Aged 33, Calderón moved abroad, playing half a season with Airdrieonians and one-and-a-half with Kilmarnock, his debut for the latter being a start against Dunfermline Athletic (2–1 home win) and his first and only goal occurring in a 1–3 away loss against Rangers. In 2002 he stayed in Scotland, wrapping up his playing career at Raith Rovers where he acted as player-coach.
