Michail Gregory Antonio (born 28 March 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club West Ham United.

Antonio began his career at non-League club Tooting & Mitcham United before going on to represent a number of Football League clubs, including Reading, Cheltenham Town, Southampton, Colchester United, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest.

Antonio was born in Wandsworth, London. He started his career at Tooting & Mitcham United Juniors at the age of 12 and remained there for six seasons. The Juniors' team was independent from Tooting & Mitcham United, whom he signed for at the age of 17 years. He made his debut for the club in an away match with Hendon at the age of 17, scoring to level scores at 1–1.

Michail also played for Providence House Youth Club as a youngster which helped him stay away from local gangs.

Antonio signed for Championship club Reading on 28 October 2008 for an undisclosed fee, signing a deal until 2010. He rejoined Tooting on a month-long loan spell on 9 January 2009, with the loan extended for a further month on 11 February but he returned to Reading less than a week later on 17 February after being recalled by the club.

Following his loan spell with Southampton in the summer of 2010, Antonio signed a fresh deal to keep him at Reading until 2013. He featured more regularly in the squad during the 2010–11 season, scoring one goal, against Burnley, in 24 appearances in all competitions.
