Antonio Ramiro Pérez, aka Antoñito (born 2 February 1978 in Seville, Andalusia), is a Spanish footballer who plays for CD Atlético Baleares as a striker.
Antoñito was born in the popular neighborhood of El Polígono de San Pablo, and grew up in local giants Sevilla FC's youth ranks, making his debuts with the first team during 2000–01, in the second division. After a loan to neighbours Recreativo de Huelva, he returned to play an important offensive role (mainly as a substitute) on a side that achieved two consecutive 6th league places.
In 2005–06, Antoñito was again loaned, being instrumental in Racing de Santander's narrow escape from relegation (nine goals, notably an 88-minute winner against CA Osasuna, on 7 May 2006).
In 2006, he joined second level side Real Murcia, helping the side achieve promotion. The following season, Antoñito moved to Xerez CD, and extended his contract one more year after 2008–09, having been a very important offensive element for the Andalusians' first-ever La Liga promotion.
In July 2011, after only six league goals for Xerez in two seasons combined (including three in the 2009–10 campaign, in an immediate relegation back from the top flight), 33-year old Antoñito signed for CD Atlético Baleares in the third division.
