Anthony "Tony" Bond (23 December 1913 – 6 July 1991) was an English professional footballer who played as a right-winger. He appeared in the Football League for Torquay United, Southport and Accrington Stanley.
Bond began his career with Preston North End, but left without breaking into the first team and was playing for Dick Kerr's XI when he signed for Blackburn Rovers in April 1932. He failed to make his league debut for Blackburn and returned to non-league football, first with Dick Kerr's XI and then with Chorley. In November 1936, Bond was signed by Wolverhampton Wanderers from Chorley, but again failed to make his league debut.
He moved to Torquay United in June 1937, making his Football League debut on 9 August 1937 in a 1–0 win at home to Walsall. He played 16 times that season, but left in the 1938 close season to rejoin Chorley. The war interrupted his career, but in August 1945, after playing for Preston North End, he joined Southport from Leyland Motors for the final season of war-time football, scoring 12 times in 29 games. In May 1946 he moved to Accrington Stanley on a free transfer, scoring 4 goals in 29 league games before leaving the professional game.
He subsequently played non-league football for Fleetwood, Bacup Borough and Bamber Bridge.
His uncle, Dicky Bond played for Preston North End, Bradford City and Blackburn Rovers and played eight times for England.
He died on 6 July 1991 aged 77.
