Antonio Chimenti (born 30 June 1970 in Bari) is a retired Italian football goalkeeper.
Chimenti began his career in the youth academy of S.S. Sambenedettese Calcio. In 1988, he was promoted to the first team. After two more seasons spent in Sambenedettese in Serie C1 and then Serie C2, he was loaned out to Tempio in the Serie C2 as well.
