Anton Rudinski (Serbian Cyrillic: Антон Рудински; 1 October 1937 – 7 October 2017) was a Yugoslav football manager and player who played as a forward.{{Cite web |url=http://www.badische-zeitung.de/sport/scfreiburg/anton-rudinski-ist-tot--143317312.html |title=Anton Rudinski ist tot - SC Freiburg |date=10 October 2017 |website=Badische Zeitung |language=de |access-date=20 October 2017}} With Red Star Belgrade he won four national Championships (1956, 1957, 1959, 1960), two Yugoslav Cups (1958, 1959) and Danube Cup (1958). With Partizan he also won national Championship (1963).

He only played one match for the Yugoslavia national team on 2 November 1952 against Egypt in a 5–0 win in Belgrade, aged 15 years 32 days old; hence being the youngest European player ever.{{cite web|url=https://eu-football.info/_players.php|title=National football team individual records and stats|website=eu-football.info|access-date=9 November 2019}}
