Antonio de Nigris Guajardo (born April 1, 1978 in Monterrey, Nuevo León) is a Mexican footballer who currently plays striker with Turkey's Ankaraspor.
Interested in sports since he was a child, de Nigris began his football career with the Rayados de Monterrey football club. He played for two seasons in Spain (first and second divisions), with little impact at Villarreal CF and a good record with modest Poli Ejido, returning to America with Once Caldas with whom, in the 2004 Intercontinental Cup, he scored in the penalty shootout defeat against FC Porto.
After another stint in Mexico, De Nigris was signed by Santos FC of Brazil on March 20, 2006, making his debut against Brasiliense in a Copa do Brasil (Brazilian cup) match. However, in late 2006, he switched to Turkey.

A Mexican international since 2001, De Nigris has represented his nation at the Copa América of 2001 but not the World Cup.
