Anthony Senter (b. 1955) was a member of the DeMeo crew, a faction of the Gambino crime family, one of the five Italian Mafia families in New York City. The DeMeo crew was notorious for their violence, suspected of between 75 to 200 murders through the mid 1970s to the early 1980s.

Senter was sadistic killer (mutilation etc)and one of the so-called Gemini Twins, a nickname given to him and his best friend, fellow DeMeo crew member Joseph Testa because they were usually together and hanging out at the Gemini Lounge in New York. Anthony was a nephew of notorious Gambino crime family capo, Robert Senter who gained notoriety for the kidnapping and murder of Emanuel Gambino, the nephew of Gambino crime family boss Carlo Gambino and nephew of Paul Castellano. Anthony was very handsome and had dark brown eyes and black wavy hair brushed straight back off his forehead. He wore smart clothes and was obsessed with his personal appearance (though in the picture above, he was only wearing a cheap black t-shirt and regular scruffy tight jeans). Everything on his body was expensive, from the Italian leather slip ons, to the tailor-made slacks, to the Rolex and large diamond ring on his pinky finger. He also always had a gold chain around his neck, a crucifix tangled in his chest hair. Anthony was an accomplished car thief who was a large earner for the Gemini Lounge Crew, but was highly disliked by Albert DeMeo, the son of Roy DeMeo. Albert's personal judgement of Senter was that, "there was something slick and phony about him". He drove or wore every dollar he ever made. What he did not spend on personal possessions, he spent on women. He could get nearly any woman he wanted, from waitresses to hotdog stand attendants. He had a collapsed lung and chain smoked.

On September 14, 1989, Senter and Testa were sentenced to life imprisonment. As of June 2008, Senter is serving his sentence at the United States Penitentiary (USP) Allenwood in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. His projected release date is October 13, 2032.
