Anthony Floch (born 12 February 1983 in Clermont-Ferrand, Puy-de-Dôme) is a French rugby union player, who normally plays at fullback. He currently plays for Montpellier in the Top 14.

Top 14

He made 24 appearances, scoring 49 points, in the 2006/07 season as Clermont reached the Top 14 final and won the European Challenge Cup. In the 2011 Top 14 he scored, a 60-metre goal, with over 10 metres to spare. This was one of the biggest kicks seen. In 2013, Anthony Floch signed a deal to join French Top 14 side Montpellier.[1]
