Antti Juhani Ahokas (born 24 January 1985) is a Finnish professional golfer.

Ahokas was born in Lappeenranta. After winning the Finnish Amateur Stroke Play Championship in 2005, he moved to the United States to attend the University of Minnesota, but left after just three months to return to Europe and further his ambitions as a professional.[1]

Having turned professional in 2006, Ahokas just failed to come through the European Tour final qualifying school, and joined the second tier Challenge Tour for the 2007 season. In 2008, he won for the first time at the Abierto VISA de la Republica, becoming the first left-hander to take that title. Later in the season he won again at the ECCO Tour Championship, and gained promotion the elite European Tour by ending the season ranked 19th on the money list.
