Anton "Antoine" Raab (16 July 1913 – 12 December 2006) was a German football player and manager. Raab spent most of his career in France after having escaped Nazi Germany, being prosecuted and incarcerated for refusing to give the Nazi salute at a football game, according to his words.

A biography about his life has been published in 2022 by a former French journalist.
