Tony Dinning (born April 20, 1975 in Wallsend, Tyneside) is an English football player, who is currently with Chester City.

He began his career at Newcastle United where he failed to make an appearance. He then moved to Stockport County in 1994, where he spent a successful 6 years before moving to Wolves for £700k. A year later he moved to Wigan Athletic for £750k but he failed to settle, having spells on loan at Stoke, Walsall, Blackpool, Ipswich and finally Bristol City, whom he eventually joined on a free transfer. Again, he failed to settle and moved to Port Vale on loan at the end of the 2004/05 season, and joined Vale the following summer. In May 2006, he agreed a deal to re-join former club Stockport County, where he played more than half of his 450 career games.

In August, 2007, Dinning had his contract with Stockport cancelled by mutual agreement, due to lack of first-team opportunities^[1]. After a month spent training with Chester City, he finally joined the Blues on October 5, 2007. He made his debut two days later in a 3-1 win over Shrewsbury Town and scored his first goal for the club from the penalty spot in Chester's 1-0 win at Lincoln City the following month.
