Antonio "Toni" Branca (born 15 September 1916 in Sion, died 10 May 1995 in Sierre) was a Swiss racing driver. Very little-known in terms of background, Branca competed in hillclimbs throughout the 1950s, but only briefly competed in high-level single-seaters, mostly Formula 2 and occasionally non-championship Formula 1. He was originally entered by Scuderia Commesso into the 1951 Monaco Grand Prix, but his entry was declined by the organisers.
