Anthony ("Tony") Alexander Jarrett (born August 13, 1968 in Enfield, London) was a sprint and hurdling athlete from England, who came 4th in the 110m hurdles at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.

Jarrett would undoubtedly been more of a household name if his career had not been overshadowed by the quite awesome achievements of fellow Briton Colin Jackson, who beat him into second place on numerous occasions at major competitions such as the World Championships, Commonwealth Games (twice), European Championships and Goodwill Games. Jackson also defeated Jarrett eight times at the national championships. In all Jarrett won two individual world silver medals another silver in 100mtr relay and a bronze.

Jarrett was disqualified for false starts at both the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia in the first round and the Edmonton World Championships a year later in the semi-finals, events he never appeared to recover from.
