Patrik Antonius (born December 13 1980) is a Finnish professional poker player, tennis coach and model from Helsinki.

Antonius began making a name for himself on the poker tournament circuit with two finishes near the final table of World Poker Tour (WPT) events in early 2005. He went on to finish in the money in three events of the 2005 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

In September 2005 he made his first European Poker Tour (EPT) final table, finishing 3rd in Barcelona. The next month, Antonius won the EPT event in Baden, taking home the €343,366 first prize when in the final hand his 8♠ 4♥ beat Gunnar Osterbrod's Q♥ 9♣ on a board of 4♠ 7♠ 8♥ 3♣ 7♣.

In December 2005 he finished off the year by finishing 2nd in the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic in Las Vegas, Nevada, winning $1,046,470.

As of 2006, his total live tournament winnings exceed $2,000,000.

Antonius is also featured on the Marcel Lüske DVD Poker: My Way.
