Tonny Emilio Trindade de Vilhena (born 3 January 1995), more commonly known as simply Tonny Vilhena, is a Dutch footballer who plays for Feyenoord.
Vilhena is a product of the Feyenoord Rotterdam youth academy, joining the club in 2003. His father is from Angola while his mother is from the Netherlands. After nine years in the club's youth ranks, he moved up to join parent-club Feyenoord in January 2012.
He made his debut for the Rotterdam-based club on 23 January 2012 versus VVV Venlo. He scored his first goal for Feyenoord in the Eredivisie on 25 November 2012 against AZ Alkmaar, a game that finished 2–0. On 3 February 2013, in Feyenoord's 3–1 win against Willem II, he became the youngest player for the club to ever score at least two goals in a single Eredivisie-match; he accomplished this feat at the age of 18 years and 31 days.
Vilhena was a key player for coach Ronald Koeman during his time at the club.
On May 2016 Feyenoord announced that Vilhena will not be part of the team due to his high value requirements.
On June 2016 Feyenoord announced that Vilhena will continue as well in the team. The player himself said: "I decided to stay in Feyenoord for personal reasons. I want to thank all the teams who have shown interest on me. I think that this was the best decision now".
Vilhena has represented his country up to Under-21 level.
He won the 2011 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship with the Netherlands U-17 team and was also the tournament's joint top scorer with 3 goals. He also won the 2012 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship after scoring the fifth and final penalty in the penalty shootout against Germany.
