Antonio Harvey (born July 6 1970, in Pascagoula, Mississippi, USA) is a retired American professional basketball player in the NBA.

He attended Southern Illinois University, Connors State Junior College, the University of Georgia, and Pfeiffer University. After playing with the Atlanta Eagles of the United States Basketball League, he signed undrafted with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1993, for whom he started on opening night of the 1993-94 season. [ [http://www.nba.com/playerfile/antonio_harvey/bio.html NBA.com: Antonio Harvey Bio] ] In 1994, Harvey was in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. In the contest, he was famed for when he waited until the final seconds to do a 360 degree, free-throw line dunk, but missed it. This led to a surprised expression from former teammate Shaquille O'Neal. He played with five other NBA teams, as well as in Greece, Spain, and Italy.

In April 2004, he was named the General Manager and Head Coach of the American Basketball Association's Portland Reign. [ [http://www.abalive.com/news/releases/?newsid=2004042006002 ABAlive.com - Home of the American Basketball Association ] Dead link|date=October 2008]
