Anthony Guy Corey Fisher (born April 8, 1988) is an American professional basketball player for Lietuvos rytas Vilnius of the Lithuanian Basketball League. A point guard, he attended Villanova University in Pennsylvania. Fisher decided on Villanova due to its combination of athletics and academics. Fisher played high school basketball for St. Patrick High School in Elizabeth, New Jersey, where he was a Parade All-American in 2007.

Fisher was born in The Bronx, New York to Corey Wilson and Kiesha Fisher. Fisher grew up in the Castle Hill Houses, 14 tall brick buildings located in The Bronx. His father lived in a different building in the complex than Corey, his brothers, Ivan and Isaiah; and their mother. Fisher has said that he often spent time in the nearby playgrounds playing basketball, and was dubbed a "playground legend" after his 105-point game on August 7, 2010. Fisher was named after his uncle, Guy Fisher, ex-drug lord and former owner of the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York City.

Fisher attended St. Patrick High School in Elizabeth, New Jersey, which was a two-hour commute from Fisher's home in The Bronx. "I looked around at everybody around me; I knew that if I didn’t get out of here, I’d never make it," Fisher said on his reason to attend school in New Jersey. As a Junior, Fisher averaged 14.9 points and 4.2 assists. Fisher was named New Jersey player of the Year by the Newark Star Ledger as a Senior and averaged 22.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 8 assists. The Celtics went 30–2 and at one point were the number two team in the nation. In February of that year, Fisher led St. Patrick's to an overtime win against West Virginia's Huntington High School led by O. J. Mayo on national television. Fisher led the way with 37 points, while Mayo scored 47. Fisher would also play against current Villanova teammate Corey Stokes every year. Fisher closed his high school career with 16 assists in the annual Roundball Classic. Fisher was named an EA Sports All-American. He was also selected to the 2007 Jordan Brand Classic, in which he received MVP honors.
