Antonio Ramiro Pérez (born 2 February 1978), known as Antoñito, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker.
During his 13-year professional career he played mainly with Sevilla and Xerez, amassing La Liga totals of 147 games and 26 goals over the course of six seasons and adding 150/35 in Segunda División.
Antoñito was born in the Seville neighborhood of El Polígono de San Pablo, where he was known as "El Romario del Polígono", and played only amateur football until the age of 22, signing in the 2000 summer with Sevilla FC – after turning down an offer from Real Betis – and being assigned to the reserve team, scoring 40 goals in his first season to help the club promote to the third division. He made his debuts with the main squad also during 2000–01 campaign, in the second level; after a loan to Andalusia neighbours Recreativo de Huelva in the same category, he returned to play an important offensive role (mainly as a substitute) on a side that achieved two consecutive sixth places in La Liga.
For 2005–06 Antoñito was again loaned, being instrumental in Racing de Santander's narrow escape from top flight relegation. He netted nine goals during the season, notably an 88th minute winner against CA Osasuna on 7 May 2006.
