Antonio "Tony" Fassina (born 26 July 1945) is a former rally driver from Italy. He won the Italian Rally Championship in 1976 and 1979 driving a Lancia Stratos HF, and then again in 1981 behind the wheel of an Opel Ascona 400 prepared by Virgilio Conrero. In 1982, he drove the Ascona to victory in the European Rally Championship. He also competed with success in the Italian round of the World Rally Championship, Rallye Sanremo, scoring four top five results between 1976 and 1981, including outright victory in the 1979 event ahead of Walter Röhrl.
He now runs Gruppo Fassina S.p.A. (Fassina Group), the business group he established in 1982 as a Milanese car dealership as he approached retirement from racing.
